Who would you cast as Presidents in biopics?

Who would be your dream actors you would choose to play a president in a biopic or movie with said president playing some sort of role in the film?

For example:

Richard Nixon played by Jack Nicholson

Woodrow Wilson played by Fred Gwynne

etc.
 
I heard that Leo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese were planning on making a TR biopic but it fell through.
 
Bill Murray reprising FDR

Robert Redford as Jefferson

Paul Giamatti reprising John Adams

Matt Damon as TR

Christoph Waltz as Wilson
 
Macabre

Christopher Walken as Calvin Coolidge
Bruce McGill as Herbert Hoover
Ben Affleck as Harry Truman

and...

Then, there's the musical comedy biopics

Steve Martin as Warren G. Harding
Bill Murray as Martin Van Buren
Chevy Chase as James Buchanan
Martin Short as James Monroe
 

Driftless

Donor
Tom Berenger = US Grant
Gary Sinise = HS Truman
Mark Wahlberg = Andrew Jackson
Randy Quaid = LBJ
William Dafoe = Woodrow Wilson
Tim Robbins = William McKinley

Paul Giamatti for TR - you need someone who can ham....

I like the choice of Ed Harris for Ike.
