Top 10 Iconic Americans Played By Non-American Actors

They may not have been born in the good ol’ U-S-of-A, but these actors brought some of America’s famous personalities to life in the most extraordinary ways. For this list, we’re looking at memorable performances by actors who were not born in the United States, playing highly recognizable American historical figures - not fictional, so portrayals like Tom Holland’s Peter Parker are out. We’re also sticking to film because television performances deserve a list by themselves. Who do you believe is the most iconic American played by a non American actor? Let us know in the comments!
