- Was cast as President 'Franklin Delano Roosevelt' (qv) in _Pearl Harbor (2001)_ (qv) after 'Gene Hackman' (qv) declined the role. Hackman's wife was of Japanese decent, and appearing in a film about the Japanese attack that precipitated the entry of the United States into World War Two would have been painful for her, so Hackman turned down the part.
