Agreed. He stole this whole shindig.

He really does. He was amazing in this!
shareI adamantly agree! For me, he was the saving grace of the whole thing, and the main reason I decided to stick it out & watch the entire series. He nailed RFK's speech pattern, and even his mannerisms. I was beyond impressed w/ his dedication to the role; although it made it glaringly obvious how other actors alongside him did not commit to their roles but instead relied soley on wardrobe & make-up to transform them (Katie Holmes especially).

Barry Pepper, to me, falls within the category of Christian Bale -- brilliant actor who has been underappreciated for years and who is now about to be recognized for the incredible talent he is.
I vote Barry Pepper for Emmy AND Golden Globe!
Agreed, Thought it was a very subtle and strong performance!
shareTotally agree!
shareagreed. what a great actor.
shareHe is a great under=rated actor. I liked his role in this except for the fake nose, I don't think they really needed to do that. Otherwise he did a great job. I hope his career gets him into some type of stardom, he's a few of the last great American actors we have left.
You notice these days American historical figures get played by brits and aussies (like the new Speilberg movie about Lincoln is having Daniel day lewis play Lincoln). I guess they are telling us there are too many Aston Kutchers and not enough Barry Pepper's.
One of the last great Canadian* actors.
sharei agree - he was the outstanding performer in this. no-one else made an impact for me.
i was particulary disappointed in tom wilkinson and katie holmes.
aka Triple B and B3
Well, it is now sure and no one can udermine that Barry Pepper is an amazing actor who stole the show!
I don't agree that Tom Wilkinson didn't do his job he was very good, but not stunning. While Holmes made a parody of Jackie!
It seems like the cast has great gifts (Greg Kinnear, Barry Pepper) and great flaws (Katie Holmes, Charlotte Sullivan).

Ha! I kept thinking he looked familiar but couldn't place him. It was the nose thowing me off!!! I can't believe I didn't realize it was a prosthetic. oops. Yes, he was very good in this series.
Bam said the lady.
Agreed, he was brilliant.
Just for the record, I'm female.....at least, last time I checked...
