Reagan as an Actor is Really Funny

"The evolving attitude toward politics emphasized entertainment over substance." (Gould, 197)

When I think of Reagan as a president, I do largely tend to think of his personality over his policy. Similarly, when I think of him as an actor I don't pay attention to what role he's playing, but rather simply the image he gives - and I think people that go back and watch Reagan's movies don't do it to see a quality performance; they simply want to watch a future president goofing off in front of a camera.
