    seriously, it's difficult to say. Unless you know the person being portrayed, how can you make an accurate assessment of the portrayal.

    I think Leo diCaprio did a great job as Howard Hughes. Was it accurate? I don't know.

    I think he was awesome as ManBearPig (but then again that's what he is, thus, it wasn't a stretch).

    AD's list was pretty darn good -

    From historical reading on FAMILIES comments there are several that jump out at me -

    First - George C Scott as PATTON -

    Second - Jamie-Foxx as RAY CHARLES -

    Did anyone see the HBO movie 61. I thought the guy that played Roger Maris was dead on.
