It's almost time for President Bush to pack his things, and Hollywood will miss him. Production begins this week on "W," a biopic about the president directed by Oliver Stone—so you know it will be a subtle love letter of a film. Stone's "W" is being played by "No Country for Old Men" star Josh Brolin, who seems kind of hunky for the part, at least compared with the competition:

  • James Adomian
    'Harold & Kumar' 2
    The first president pothead. Well, the first one who inhales.
  • Frank Caliendo
    'Frank tV'
    Awfully beefy for the jogger in chief. But he's got that Texas twang down.
  • Timothy Bottoms
    'That's My Bush'
    'Ozzie & Harriet' met 'The West Wing' in this short-lived sitcom.
  • Chris Parson
    'Lil' Bush'
    He giggles. He whines. A portrait of the prez as an immature young man.
  • Will Ferrell
    'Saturday Night Live'
    One word: strategery. Hillary rocks 'SNL' now, but Ferrell's George ruled.
