Re: 'John Adams' HBO Miniseries


Quote:
Have these people never seen a portrait of Adams? He was short and stocky so I think Giamatti is physically just right for the role.

When Adams was Vice President he was given the mocking title of "His Rotundity", so I don't see what the problem is, either. (Both William Daniels - who created the role of Adams in 1776 on Broadway and reprised it in the film - and George Grizzard - who played Adams in The Adams Chronicles - were notably better looking and trimmer than the actual Adams.)

Regards,

Joe
