Fan Casting The President in John Singleton's Cage

A folksy, overwhelmed Commander-in-Chief, the President is a "Bubba Clinton" type caught in an international crisis he didn't create. Facing an election year and mounting public pressure, he must rely on NSA operative Peter Gyrich to contain the Moses Magnum threat. While he projects warmth and charm, he is also capable of ruthless pragmatism—threatening to nuke an entire country at the first sign of biological warfare. He represents the flawed, anxious face of American power.
