My old friend Ray Starzmann played Harry Truman in this. He actually went to Truman's office in Independence as a boy and had framed letters from him. He was fascinated with politics in real life and had the most impressive political book collection at his apartment I ever saw. He was famous for his election parties during presidential election years. He was a great guy. I miss you Ray. 😢❤

He looks nothing and sounds nothing like Truman.

I believe it's because Mr Truman was not available for this show, so they went with the understudy ; - )
