What is one horrible casting choice for a historical figure?

I was watching People Vs OJ Simpson, and while I love almost everything about it, the one thing that I couldn't 100% was Cuba Gooding Jr. as OJ. Now granted, Cuba gives a tremendous performance in the show, but his casting was a bit weak, considering that everyone else in the show was perfectly cast. So it got me thinking, what movie had a rather questionable casting choice for a historical figure that ultimately didn't pan out too well? I'll start it off- John Cusack as Richard Nixon in The Butler bizarre choice. I love Cusack, but he wasn't the right part for the role.
