Re: History Channel Lincoln
Here is a link to the preview. The few seconds of the CGI Lincoln are pretty amazing. It's him!

Re: History Channel Lincoln
Woah, you mean the History Channel is showing history? All through the preview, I kept expecting the body-snatchers to jump into their UFOs with Lincoln's body.
This one looks like it might be worth a peek![I][COLOR="Navy"]Amber L. Clark[/COLOR][/I]Comment

Did they use an actor with the same bodily proportions as Lincoln and superimpose Lincon's face? Amazing stuff, just curious to know how they did it![COLOR=Blue][SIZE=2][FONT=Book Antiqua]Ken Raia[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]Comment

Re: History Channel Lincoln
They used probably the best Lincoln impersonator that I've ever seen. His first name was Fitz, last name escapes me right now. I believe he has an ad in CCG. The man is definitely a serious student of Lincoln and just a wealth of knowledge about the man. He used hair pieces and prosthetics to get a very accurate Lincoln look. Standing right next to him I didn't even realize he was wearing all the extra facial pieces. His suit and hat was also made to the exact specifications of one of Lincoln's suits. I would classify him as a hardcore Lincoln impersonator, definitely leagues above the average "reenactment Lincoln". In all of the shots that's his body with the digital Lincoln head attached.Ryan McIntyre

Re: History Channel Lincoln
Was it perhaps Fritz Klein? I've seen him two or three times in person, and, yes, he's the best I've ever seen. He REALLY researches his stuff, and he can reach out to an audience like you wouldn't believe.[I][COLOR="Navy"]Amber L. Clark[/COLOR][/I]Comment

Re: History Channel Lincoln
Mr Fritz Klein has done something astonishing. I feel as if through his interpretation,I hear the living, breathing Lincoln. I wish I could find this gentlemans rendition of the Gettysburg Address.
