Personal Quote:
It's an actor's dream to play something like this. I consider this my masterwork...Playing Nixon gave me tremendous recognition. I'd long been known in the business, but it pulled everything together. Finally people could put the name Lane Smith with my face.Trivia:
He has two roles in common with Frank Langella: (1) Smith played US President Richard Nixon in The Final Days (1989) while Langella played him in Frost/Nixon (2008) and (2) Smith played Perry White in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993) while Langella played him in Superman Returns (2006).
