Which actor portrays Lyndon B. Johnson in season 3 of The Crown?

Clancy Brown portrays U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson in season 3 of The Crown.

Brown appears as Johnson during the season’s depiction of the 1960s, when the American president becomes part of the series’ broader story about Britain’s relationship with the United States. Johnson succeeded John F. Kennedy after Kennedy’s assassination in November 1963 and served as president from 1963 to 1969, the period covered by much of season 3.

The casting is easy to mix up with other American political figures in the series. Michael C. Hall plays John F. Kennedy in season 2, while Paul Sparks plays the preacher Billy Graham. Richard Roxburgh appears later as Australian prime minister Bob Hawke, not Johnson. Brown is also widely recognized for voice and screen roles in projects such as The Shawshank Redemption and SpongeBob SquarePants, making his appearance as the 36th U.S. president a notable dramatic role.
