12. GEENA DAVIS: "Commander in Chief" (2005-2006)
Davis proved that if a guy could be president, so could a woman.
She played President Mackenzie Allen on ABC's short-lived "Commander in Chief."
11. ANTHONY HOPKINS played two presidents two years apart in 'Nixon' and 'Amistad' (1995 and 1997)
Hopkins may not look like Nixon, but he mastered the 37th president's mannerisms.
Two years later, he played John Quincy Adams in "Amistad."
10. GARY SINISE: 'Truman' (1995)
9. DANIEL DAY-LEWIS: 'Lincoln' (2012)
Often considered the greatest US president, Abraham Lincoln scores here with the method actor's fascinating embodiment of the Republican's careful maneuvering, compassion, and soaring rhetoric. (Also, really long stories.)

7. DENNIS HAYSBERT: '24' (2001-06)
In a January 2008 issue of TV Guide, Haysbert claimed that his role as President David Palmer was responsible in part for Barack Obama's election.
"As far as the public is concerned, it did open up their minds and their hearts a little bit to the notion that if the right man came along that a black man could be president of the United States," he said.
His costar Kiefer Sutherland denied Haysbert's claim.

"Frost/Nixon" won the 2009 Oscar for Best Picture.
Langella was nominated for multiple awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor.
2. BILL PULMAN: 'Independence Day' (1996)
He may not have won any awards, but Pullman's portrayal of Thomas Whitmore is probably one of the most recognizable presidential roles. He ranked third in The Credits' poll for all-time popularity.
Sure, Pullman may not be the most realistic president, but he wins our vote for jumping in an aircraft to shoot down some alien scum for the survival of mankind alongside Will Smith.
1. HARRISON FORD: 'Air Force One' (1997)
Before Liam Neeson was "Taken," Harrison Ford took down Gary Oldman and a group of Russian terrorists who kidnapped him and his family as President James Marshall.
Ford received the most votes in The Credits' poll.
We can't even really blame Trump for trying to use the music from the movie in his campaign.
We can't point out the best without including some we'd like to forget:
