I think Jim Carey is too whacko to carry it off for a prolonged time. It would have to be someone more like Alec Guiness. So I started looking for character actors who could sound and move like someone Biden's age naturally. There is a plethora of experienced actors in the 50-80 y.o. range. The size has to be right, which eliminates many. The other problem is that the most famous actors might give themselves away with some mannerism that breaks the illusion. The voice would be the hardest thing to sustain convincingly, safest would be someone who is already close in accent and timbre. A voice actor? How could voice actors be searched?

The voice is pretty dead on. Keen observations.
