Default What about the Actor President?

I didn't see Ronald Reagan- Lieutenant Reagan to the 1st Motion Picture Unit in Culver City, California, where he made over 400 training films.

John Kennedy 35th president served as a lieutenant in the United States Navy 1941-1945; PT boat commander in the South Pacific

Lyndon Johnson 36th president, Lieutenant Commander in the U. S. Naval Reserve after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, Johnson became the first member of Congress to volunteer for active duty in the armed forces (U.S. Navy), reporting for active duty on December 9, 1941.
He received the Silver Star from General Douglas MacArthur for gallantry in action during an aerial combat mission over hostile positions in New Guinea on June 9. President Roosevelt ordered all members of Congress in the armed forces to return to their offices, and Johnson was released from active duty on July 16, 1942.
