From biopics to comedy skits, media involving the President always brings in an audience. But, which POTUS do we see on our screens the most?

Planet 7 used IMDb to discover every portrayal of an American president in the history of the movies, TV and social media, but not including ‘real-life’ appearances or cameos. Here is what we found:

Barack Obama the Most Portrayed President

Becoming the first black President in 2008, Barak Obama is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about world leaders to date. In just two terms of presidency Obama has amassed whopping 139 portrayals, most of which are part of comedies such as South Park or YouTube shorts such as College Humour. Obama was one of the first presidents we saw embrace new generation media and the light-hearted depictions encouraged young persons to engage in politics and warm to the President, accumulating 139 million followers on Twitter.

Abraham Lincoln the Second Most Portrayed

Leading the US through the American Civil War – the country’s greatest moral, cultural, constitutional, and political crisis – Abraham Lincoln is another international household name. With 125 portrayals, Lincoln is the favourite POTUS to be depicted in biopic movies and educational documentaries. The most notable is Oscar-winning film Lincoln, where Daniel Day-Lewis was awarded Best Actor for his depiction.

Theodore Roosevelt the Third Most Portrayed

Famously portrayed by Robin Williams in Night at the Museum, Roosevelt is another popular President that we see on our screens. He served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909 and is most well-known for being the US’ first modern president, where he – rather than the political parties or Congress – was the centre of American politics.
