Actors Have Always Been A Little Bit Off

I found this little item interesting:

Dismissed for 175 years as a fake, a letter threatening the assassination of President Andrew Jackson has been found to be authentic. And, says the director of the Andrew Jackson Papers Project at the University of Tennessee, the writer was none other than Junius Brutus Booth, father of Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth.

Junius was an actor too. Even before Hollywood was invented actors were badly misguided about politics..
