This 1896 campaign poster depicts William Jennings Bryan (here, Sen. Fred Thompson, circa 1972 or so).  The depiction of Thompson was done by artist Helen Williams Ward.

William Jennings Bryan (played by Sen. Fred Thompson) is considered among the greatest orators in American history.

Clarence Darrow (Brian Dennehy) and William Jennings Bryan (Sen. Fred Thompson) strike the same famous pose on the set of "alleged" as the historical characters did in 1925.

Sen. Fred Thompson plays William Jennings Bryan.  Ironically, both held presidential aspirations (Bryan getting the Democratic nominee 3x).
