Mark Collins as George Washington
About Mark Collins as George Washington :
With his snowy white hair and 6’ 4’’ frame, Mark Collins bears a remarkable resemblance to our founding father, George Washington. Having the same build and general appearance as the famous statesman has proven to be fortunate for Collins, as he has just recently been asked to portray Washington in the latest installment of Disney’s National Treasure, starring Nicholas Cage. The History Channel has also cast Mark as the first president in a 13-hour miniseries entitled The Revolution.
Mark’s skill, however, is not limited to film. He has portrayed Washington, sans script, in a number of speaking engagements and for a diverse set of audiences including the military, schools, churches, and parades. A religious man much like Washington himself, Collins serves as a minister of First Baptist Church, in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
Whether on the movie or TV screen, or from the stage or pulpit, Collins’ talent for captivating an audience through his powerful speech translates across all audiences. The historical precision of his presentation combined with his moving performance transports his listeners across time, to an era on the verge of a great revolution.
