Who will be the first actor to play Barack Obama in a major motion picture?

After watching the beginning of this it seemed like Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx were auditioning, and we all know Will Smith wants the role...who will get it?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Denzel Washington is too old. He's 7-8 years older than Barack. I love him, but he can't pull off the age difference necessary.

Smith and Foxx are at least younger than Obama. However, Smith LOOKS like Barack much more than Foxx does. I mean, he has the EARS down pat:

So I will say Will Smith.

Spot the difference competition.
Is this Obama or Smith?

Since most of these actors are going to be way too old by the time they actually get around to making a movie about Obama, I'm going to have to go with someone a little younger, Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son.

Clearly, it should be Robert Downey Jr.

I feel Will Smith is the best choice, as he has the maturity but also the youthful quality that Obama possesses.

Watch this video, he sounds like him.  Maybe someone like Will Smith can do the acting, but this guy in the video is pretty good

The buzz is on Jamie Foxx, and don't they have a certain something in common in their gestures and poses - it is more than looks that makes a great character, you have to feel that they are also portraying what is inside as well. Jamie Foxx may just have it

Fred Armisen. Here's a pic:

He's already played Obama on SNL and it's not a bad look-a-like attempt.

Next he will play him in a movie.

I say Barack Obama. Rumor is he will be looking for a new job in about 8 years!
