Brolin, perhaps best known for his role in No Country for Old Men, makes a splash as Dubya in Stone’s biopic, which traces George Bush’s rise to power, from alcoholism to becoming a born-again Christian.
Kamal Haasan
In the Indian film Dasavathaaram, about a biological weapon of mass destruction which is in danger of falling into the wrong hands, Tamil actor Haasan dons a dodgy-looking mask to play Bush.

Will Ferrell
Will Ferrell’s "special address" as George W Bush. Here the President takes time out from relaxing on his ranch to tell us what he thinks about those new-fangled "global warmings”.
Frank Caliendo
American stand-up comedian Frank Caliendo puts on his George Bush hat and talks to David Letterman... Just don’t ask him to “rememberise” what the word “legacy” means.
