...Mexican golden boy Gael García Bernal was Salles' first and only choice to play Guevara. "Could it be anybody else?" he asks. "Gael is the most visceral, talented and mature actor of his generation." Others have played the revolutionary onscreen: Omar Sharif in a much-reviled 1969 biopic; Antonio Banderas alongside Madonna's Eva Perón in Evita; and, soon, Benicio Del Toro in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming Che.

"I didn't want to screw it up," says Selleck, who also prepared for the role by talking with Eisenhower's son and learning an appropriate President-to-be's voice. So what does he think of TV these days? Selleck refers to a gig he once...
