It is America's 250th birthday and what better way to celebrate than talking George Washington. Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott sits down with William Franklyn-Miller, the British actor stepping into his first leading role as a 21-year-old Washington in the new film Young Washington. They get into the irony of a Brit playing the father of our nation, the wooden teeth he thankfully dodged and what we still do not know about our first president. Plus bonus chats with director Jon Erwin, Kelsey Grammer and Sir Ben Kingsley (yes, you have to say Sir). Then head to Newsweek.com for H. Alan's list of the 10 best presidential performances in film and TV. Now go eat a hot dog.
