[Kai "the spy"]

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Does this count?

If not, I go with the more serious version of Bruno Ganz as Hitler.

 

[Avro Arrow]

^ Can I still enter, or has the contest been Godwinned?

- Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing

 

[auntiehill]

^I would definitely vote for that one!

 

[Owain Taggart]

Tom Wilkinson as Ben Franklin in HBO's John Adams miniseries. Great miniseries too, btw.

 

[od0_ital]

Amelia Earhart, Star Trek: Voyager 'The 37s'

 

[bbjeg]

Castro, right?

Does this count?

If not, I go with the more serious version of Bruno Ganz as Hitler.

If the first one is portraying Hitler, it qualifies, but the second one is more hardened personally.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Chaplin did a parody version of Hitler. It was not meant to be an accurate depition, the swastika got swapped with the XX symbol, too.
So it is not Hitler, just Hitler-ish, thqt's why I am asking.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Castro, right?

Uh, no. That's Benicio del Toro's Che Guevara.

 

[J.T.B.]

Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln, 2012.

If someone did Lincoln from Bill & Ted, even though it's sci-fi, I'd allow it because it was Lincoln. Parodies on the other hand aren't really the people they're depicting. They're imitations.

No problem. Bruno Ganz from the Downfall it is.

I hope we have a lot of votes for this one, because my standard three are already taken.
