IN CHARGE: Josh Brolin as President George W. Bush. Oct 11, 2008
He also terms Bush a "character lead," a role-type he wants to embrace after the cumulative profile-raising effect of last year's acclaimed turns -- big, supporting and cameo-sized -- in "No Country for Old Men," "American Gangster" and "In the Valley of Elah." Because after an up-and-down career dotted with quirky gems ("Flirting With Disaster"), third-lead blahs ("Hollow Man"), lurches into television ("Mister Sterling") and countless unseen indies, Brolin is ready to use his heat to work with...
