You may never become the President of the United States, declare war on Nazi Germany or revive the economy from a Great Depression, but now you can play someone who has done all three things onscreen. Notting Hill director Roger Michell is searching for U.S. actors to play Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his distant cousin Daisy and his wife Eleanor for the film Hyde Park On Hudson, about the romantic relationship between FDR and Daisy. Michell hopes that the film, being developed by the UK's Film4, will begin shooting later this year. Casting suggestions encouraged below. [Deadline]
