I am a huge JFK fan and watch anything related about him in tv and movies, and Kinnear was absolutely the best JFK ever. Looked just like him, the mannerisms, everything. Terrific job. If the series didnt get blackballed, he would have been up for an emmy.
Sometimes when you see Kinnear in this you actually may think it's really Jack Kennedy! LOL!
Great job Kinnear! -

The look and the Mannerisms were great but all I could hear was Greg Kinnear trying to do a JFK impersonation.
He also didn't seemed to never change the urgency, if that's the right word, in his voice. Although I'm not sure if that was how JFK talked.

It's difficult to choose the best JFK ever if one hasn't seen all of the JFK performances. Apparently, no one here has seen William Devane in "The Missiles of October." If you ever get a chance to see it, I think you'll change your mind about the best JFK ever.

Yes, even though Devane doesn't resemble JFK quite as much as some other actors, he really got his speech and mannerisms down.
Just a brief historical footnote: the person who most accurately reproduced JFK's speech (pattern and accent) was entertainer Vaughn Meader. I still have one of his LP records stored in the basement somewhere. He was just hitting his stride, making a career out of his satirical records and planning a TV special, when JFK was killed. Wow, talk about a career-ending event. Meader never really recovered from that blow.
