    • Trivia
      In this documentary, Paul Giamatti plays the voice of John Adams seventeen years after he portrayed John Adams in the 2008 HBO miniseries "John Adams" (and three years after playing the voice of John Adams in Ken Burns's documentary "Benjamin Franklin"). Interestingly, though Laura Linney (who played John's wife, Abigail, in that series) also lends her voice to "The American Revolution," it is not as Abigail Adams; that voice is played by Claire Danes.
