Which actors have portrayed John Kennedy?
At the moment, I can only remember these four:

William Devane in "The Missiles of October"
Martin Sheen in "Kennedy"
Stephen Collins in "A Woman Named Jackie"
Bruce Greenwood in "Thirteen Days"

Any others I'm not recalling?

12. No. That was Bruce Greenwood. The film was "Thirteen Days."
Costner played Kenny O'Donnell, an assistant to the President.

10. Steven Weber played JFK in a miniseries
It was "The Kennedys of Massachusetts" and he wasn't half-bad in the role as I recall.

11. Cliff De Young
He played JFK in "Robert F. Kennedy & His Times" in 1985. They play this movie (along with Sheen's outstanding "Kennedy") several times each year on cable's True Stories channel.

13. Didn't the late Brad Davis ...
play JFK in some movie, possibly a TV movie? I seem to remember Davis in the role. Could be wrong, though.
