No.8: Bruce Greenwood (National Treasure)

No.7: Jonathon Pryce (G.I. Joe)

Veteran British actor Jonathon Pryce puts on his best American accent to play not only the President, but also Cobra Commander disguised as the President in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and G.I. Joe Retaliation

No.5: Kevin Kline (Dave)

What if the President died and a much kinder, smarter guy who just happened to be his lookalike stepped in? Kevin Kline makes us fall in love with his everyman turned First man.

No.4: Michael Douglas (The American President)

The American President is a sweet movie about a widowed president falling in love again, there's no way your heart won't melt!

No.3: Bill Pullman (Independence Day)

Independence Day is a classic flick to put on when you're feeling patriotic, and Bill Pullman is the guy in charge of the nation (although not who saves the day)

No.2: Harrison Ford (Air Force One)

"Red, White & Blue, I'm counting on you!" Air Force One may be cheezy, but Harrison Ford is the kind of quietly confident hero you want in charge.
