Yes, the "FDR voice" is very noticeable with that actor. Also with the actor portraying the government work camp supervisor in GRAPES OF WRATH.

I wonder how many times that was done while he was president. I know that the warden in "Pardon Us" with Laurel and Hardy is an obvious FDR parody. The face as well as the voice, and even one of his lines -
"My boys - and you are my boys...."
