While actors portraying historical figures is a pretty regular deal, the casting of Bill Murray as President Franklin D. Roosevelt turned quite a few heads. Mostly known for playing slightly offbeat characters, Murray is a genuinely inspired choice to play the 32nd President of the United States. The film in question is Roger Mitchellâs (Notting Hill) Hyde Park on the Hudson, which focuses on Rooseveltâs affair with his cousin, Daisy, during a weekend in 1939 which marked the first ever visit to America by a British monarchy when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited FDRâs upstate New York cottage. Olivia Williams portrays FDRâs wife Eleanor while Laura Linney plays the tempting Daisy, and today weâve got our first look at Murray in character as FDR.
