Frank Langella
Frost/Nixon

Frank Langella won a Tony® for his portrayal of former President Richard Nixon in the stage version of Frost/Nixon, and now he's reprised the role in the film adaptation of the same name. While Frank has primarily focused his energies on theater, his ability to sink himself into character roles in movies has earned him great acclaim.

The movie is a dramatization of the 1977 interviews between British TV journalist David Frost and former President Nixon, during which President Nixon famously admitted that he "'let the American people down." Frank plays the beleaguered ex-president sympathetically and has been praised for his spot-on portrayal.
