10 Actors Who Should Play Donald Trump in a Movie

2012 Miss Universe Pageant

Donald Trump may be one of the most successful business in the country, but his reputation has definitely surpassed the board room.  Over the years, he’s become extremely well-known for his bold personality and willingness to state his opinion at all costs. Recently, Donald Trump has announced that he plans to run for President of the United States during the next election.  Since then, he’s been getting even more attention than usual and people all over the country are divided on their feelings about Trump and politics. Although many people don’t agree with Trump’s statements or beliefs, they still find him hard to ignore.  With that being said, Trump has made a name for himself that could eventually lead to a biopic.  With his larger-than-life image, it’s safe to say that Donald Trump would love to have his story told on the big screen.  But who would take on the massive role of Mr. Trump? We’ve got some ideas.  Here are 10 actors who would play Donald Trump in a movie.

Greg Kinnear

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Greg Kinnear

Greg Kinnear may not be one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but over the years he’s definitely shown that he’s got some serious skill. He’s definitely got a diverse set of skills and he could easily take on the role of a shrewd business tycoon like Donald Trump.  He may have a kind face, but it’s not too hard to imagine him laying the law down.

Jeff Bridges

The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences' Presents Beau And Jeff: A Tale Of Two Bridges

Okay, okay, you’re probably thinking that Jeff Bridges has way too much [real] hair to play Donald Trump, and although he does, he would still be great for the role. Bridges has been working steady in the industry since the 50s and there’s a reason why – he’s great at what he does. However, Trump and Bridges has some very different political views, so there’s a good chance Bridges wouldn’t be that interested in portraying Trump. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with dreaming.

Clint Eastwood

"American Sniper" New York Premiere - Inside Arrivals

Clint Eastwood may be much older than Donald Trump, but to put it plainly, Eastwood is the man – and nobody has a scowl as good as his.  Eastwood has been in the industry for over 60 years, and in that time he’s created a pretty impressive track record. As an actor, Eastwood has starred in some classic films, and as a producer and director, he’s also worked on some amazing films.  Eastwood in any role always brings a certain light to the screen, and he would definitely take on the role as Trump with the seriousness and peculiarity it deserves.

Alec Baldwin

TCM Classic Film Festival - Opening Night Gala Of "Oklahoma!" - Red Carpet

Alec Baldwin is a member of one of the most famous families in Hollywood.  All of his brothers have found success in the industry, and it’s pretty clear why.  Baldwin’s talent speaks for itself and he his life away from the camera has also been pretty entertaining. A few years ago, Baldwin got some unwanted attention for calling his then 11-year-old daughter “a rude, thoughtless, little pig.”  Although Donald Trump hasn’t said anything crazy about his own daughter, he’s definitely known for saying some crazy things in general.  Playing Donald Trump might actually be a good time for Baldwin.

Dennis Quaid

Think about it, can you picture Dennis Quaid shaking his finger at someone and saying, “you’re fired!”? Yeah, exactly!  Quaid definitely has what it takes to take on any role, and he also has the perfect look to portray a mean businessman who says anything he wants. Quaid may have had some rough patches in his career, but he’s definitely a very talented actor and it would be nice to see him taking on a character as large as Donald Trump.

Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr. may be almost two decades younger than Donald Trump, but as everyone knows, Hollywood is capable of making people look how ever they want. Downey is well-known for being entertaining every time he hits the screen, and he very rarely misses. His resume includes some very diverse roles, and Donald Trump would probably feel extra special knowing that someone who has played a superhero would be taking on his role. Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than Iron Man.

Tom Selleck

Monaco: The 44th Monte-Carlo Television Festival - Day One

Tom Selleck hasn’t appeared in any major film or TV roles in a while, but a role as Donald Trump could be the perfect comeback.  Selleck has had some experience over the years playing some pretty serious characters. Throughout the 70s and 80s, Selleck was well-known for not only his acting chops, but his good looks as well.  Although Trump isn’t necessarily known for his good looks, with the right hair peace he could definitely fit the look.

Bruce Willis

Bruce Willis may be most well-known for his role in action movies, but he’s also proven that he’s capable of taking on any role that’s thrown his way. With more than 30 years of experience, many of which have been spent working with the biggest names of the industry, Willis is definitely one of the most popular actresses of his generation. Aside from acting, Willis has also embarked on several business ventures.  That experience would be perfect for him getting in the mindset of Mr. Trump.

Tommy Lee Jones

Tommy Lee Jones may not look much like Donald Trump, but he’s definitely got that mean looking scowl down to a science.  That, mixed with a bad toupee would definitely make him a shoe-in.  Plus, with Tommy Lee’s impressive resume, Trump would probably be happy with him in the role.  And as you know, Donald Trump isn’t a very easy man to impress.

Donald Trump

With his personality, and superiority complex, there’s no denying that Donald Trump would want to play himself in a movie.  In fact, he probably believes that he’s the best person for the job although he isn’t actually a trained actor.  However, there’s no denying the fact that he would definitely make the roll entertaining, and obviously, no one can play Donald Trump like Donald Trump.
