Morse's nose was made bigger for his role as George Washington in "John Adams." He said "It was my big idea to do that nose. ... I just kept looking at these portraits and thinking 'This man's face is so commanding,' and I did not feel that my face was very commanding in the way his was. So I convinced them that we should try the nose, and we tried it on, and everybody went, 'Wow, that's Washington.'"
