Nick Nolte is not a fan of Ronald Reagan either as a politician or an actor.The “Graves” star set TV critics straight on Saturday,explaining that opposite to easy assumption, he did not base his Epix character on the 40th Commander-in-Chief of the United States. LBJ, or maybe — a little bit,at least.
The 75-year-old Nolte said he didn’t consider Reagan was a excellent President, and added, and “He was a imperfect actor.”

He shared some of those during the Television Critics organization Summer Press Tour panel discussion, where he spoke out on the importance of marriage and advocated for a children’s Bill of Rights.
He also said Hispanic families seem to have a stronger grasp than most on what is truly important, and adding that California would be lost without its immigrants. None of those topics were directly posed by reporters during the Q&A portion.
Nolte then reminded the journalists in attendance that we’re “all one breath absent from death.”“Graves” premieres Oct. 16 on Epix — if we all live long enough to see it.
