"Sunrise at Campabello, "The Winds of War", and " War and Remembrance" he played FDR quite well.

He also played FDR on Broadway, which must have been an event to witness. I'm glad he preserved his amazing performance on film. It's shocking when you consider that Bellamy was only nominated for an Oscar once in his career. He should have received one for SUNRISE AT CAMPOBELLO (along with Hume Cronyn who was equally brilliant).

Ralph Bellamy playing FDR was similar to Raymond Massey playing Abraham Lincoln. They both did it on stage, movies and television. As far as I am aware, Bellamy did not play it on radio like Massey did with Lincoln.
