Eva, he was not an actor.

Dave, it's not Withers.

Hint #3: While his most famous accomplishment is Lincoln-related, he is known for many other accomplishments as well.

Michael, yes he did.

Eva, this man was born before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, but Lincoln never knew him or his accomplishments.
