Actors by Historical Figures They've Played

Vote for your favorite actor who's played each of these historical figures. You can suggest historical figures as long as they are dead and are not someone incredibly evil (eg serial killers, dictators, cult leaders) who's still within living memory. (Evil historical figures who have been dead for at least one hundred years, such as Vlad the Impaler, are fair game.) Please just use common sense. Again, any role you add MUST already be deceased.
