Abraham Lincoln

I think someone should make a movie where Abraham Lincoln was actually a secret agent -- AS WELL AS being the President.

Can't you just hear his voice? "The name's Lincoln. ABRAHAM Lincoln."

Maybe his being elected President was just part of his cover: deep, DEEP cover.

And the reason he was killed while watching the play at Ford Theatre was to prevent a hand-off of sensitive documents during the intermission.


There could even be some carriage chases, and some hand-to-hand fighting -- after all, he **was** a champion wrestler when he was younger!

And Bruce Campbell could play Abe Lincoln! And Andrew Johnson, his Vice-President (who became President after Lincoln's death) could be played by Matt Frewer (see photo) or Jeremy Piven. Just because they're good actors, and need the work.

And Janeanne Garofalo could play Mary Todd Lincoln (Abe's wife). She doesn't necessarily need the work, but it'd be interesting casting. And I think they're both short.

Hmmm, not a bad idea. You could tap into the merchandising since they already have Abraham Lincoln action figures:

One a more existential note: we're still debating whether TG is a real person, or some sort of cardboard cutout / imaginary friend / alter-ego to GG. The photo points towards the latter.

Which raises the question, does TG exist if we don't believe he exists?

-K.
