Oliver Stone’s upcoming George W Bush biopic, W, has gained another classy cast member with the addition of Scott Glenn who is set to play former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Glenn’s last role was as the shady CIA director Ezra Kramer in The Bourne Ultimatum, so it should be a relatively easy gig for the veteran actor.
The controversial Rumsfeld, who resigned in 2006, was twice appointed Secretary of Defense, first for President Gerald Ford and later for Bush. Glenn has played a number of shady characters, most notably as Clarice Starling's FBI boss Jack Crawford in Silence Of The Lambs, so the role should be an easy fit.
All that’s left for Oliver Stone is to cast his Dick Cheney. We reckon William Hurt (albeit with a comb-over wig) would be a good choice but given Cheney’s infamous fowl hunting expedition farrago, we’d say Elmer Fudd is a shoo-in for the role.
