Summary
Grammer, 71, said America's "greatest hope" is already written in the words and actions of the Founding Fathers, arguing their vision can help bridge current national divisions.
Ahead of the July 3 release of "Young Washington" and the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, he said the founders' ideal was equal opportunity and a shared national dream, not equal outcomes.
The film casts Grammer as Thomas Fairfax, a mentor to a young George Washington, and Angel Studios said it will be screened at U.S. embassies worldwide through a partnership with the State Department.
Grammer has returned repeatedly to Washington's story since 1984, including roles in "George Washington" and "Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor," and said the enduring American quality he most wants preserved is optimism.
