2. PRESIDENT TOM BECK
As seen in DEEP IMPACT (Played by MORGAN FREEMAN)
Before David Palmer, before Barack Obama, there was Tom Beck. In 1998 the year of the asteroid,
DEEP IMPACT may have been a damp squib compared to altogether more bombastic BAY-ed up
ARMAGEDDON but DEEP IMPACT definitely won in the President stakes. Who wouldnt vote for
Morgan Freeman!? His two televised speeches are so impassioned and believable, Dubya should really have taken notes, the latter of his speeches, after
Robert Duvall's shuttle crew has saved humanity is up there with some of the most inspiring monologues ever committed to film. Beck might not have kicked anyones ass but he delivers hope in spades.
