Producer-director Stanley Kramer used the high-voltage Scopes "Monkey Trial" as the basis for one of his best film efforts.

Granted, that was a slightly easier call than, say, the mysterious Mr. Frost predicting the assassination of the president of Kazakhstan. (Word to the wise: Never get into a dead pool with that guy.) It just had to be Toby, didn't it? It's perfect. His brother's an astronaut, his new job as press secretary has him around reporters all day and, mostly, because a woefully underused Richard Shiff has to be looking for the Oval Office exit after seven years.
