What do you think of when you think of James Buchanan? Maybe you think… “only bachelor U.S. president, born in Pennsylvania, possibly helped escalate events leading to the U.S. Civil War?

In 2019, he became the subject of a dark comedy movie called Raising Buchanan, which you can read more about here. 

Actor Rene Auberjonois plays James Buchanan. Some of you Gen Xers might remember him from the old TV series Benson and more recently, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. If you’re a “doctor cop lawyer” fan, you might remember him from Boston Legal. In this movie, a woman steals Buchanan’s corpse in hopes of getting a large ransom. Then hilarity ensues when she finds out that nobody…seems to care!
