For an added degree of difficulty, analogize you choices to the individual presidents on Mt. Rushmore. For example:
1. George Washington - Father of our Country, maybe the first "great man" in the nation
2. Thomas Jefferson - Another Founding Father, responsible for many of our founding principles (Declaration) and for greatly expanding our reach (Louisiana Purchase)
3. Abraham Lincoln - The Great Emancipator, saw our nation through a stormy transition into a better future
4. Theodore Roosevelt - The "modern" choice, laid the foundation for great things to come (National Parks System)
George Washington = Lucy
Thomas Jefferson = Matt Dillon (I struggled with this one)
Lincoln = Archie Bunker
Teddy = Tony Soprano
Maybe Captain Kirk or Spock as Jefferson, but someone from a genre show.
