Playing Abraham Lincoln is no easy feat. An actor has a lot of expectations to live up to: they have to get the look right (tall, beard, top hat), they have to get the voice right (though the real Lincoln actually had a squeaky, high-pitched voice and not the grave baritone we've come to expect), they have to get the attitude right (serious, thoughtful, compassionate).
And now, of course, they have one more thing to get right: hunting down and slaughtering vampires with a hatchet.
