I am not the person you seek.  I have been told that the person who does the 
portrayal of Jefferson at Williamsburg is a Mr. Bill Barker.  

There are two persons who portray Thomas Jefferson that I know of.  Clay 
Jenkinson and Bill Barker.  I have not seen either one, but from what I hear, 
the latter is the more authentic.  

Information on Bill Barker can be found at:

Clay Jenkinson has a website at

	 http://www.th-jefferson.org

And I'm sure you could get an email address for him from that website.

On that we agree.  I also believe he is unquestionably the GREATEST
political thinker by far.

Although I have not seen Clay Jenkinson's performance, I did see him on Ken
Burn's special on Jefferson, which was on PBS sometime last year.  My own
feeling is, there are few people indeed who capture the true spirit of
Jefferson, based on my own study of his writings.  I am especially
suspicious of persons, whether historians or portrayers, who present
Jefferson as inconsistent or inscrutable.  I am convinced that many who
present him as such do so because they do not truly understand Jefferson,
and therefore he appears that way to them.
