My father was a very wealthy industrialists, the owner of an internationally-known company whose products bear my name, and is now the largest manufacturer of the product line in the world. I rose to the highest position in the government of my native country. But my little brother is better know than I am. He emigrated and went slumming in Hollywood, and became a well-known actor. There was once a controversy when he, a foreigner, was cast to play a popular US president. My brother played the title character in a very popular TV series that ran for five years.

Correction to the above. My brother did not play the title role, but the title character's sidekick in every episode. He played the same president in one movie and episodes of two different TV shows.

Additional hint: I was the first person born in my country to ever serve in the highest office in its government. It was not an elected position.

Didn't think this would be this hard, but maybe nobody was here on the weekend. If you want more hints, say so.

You're thinking of Raymond Burr's brother Gozilla. But yes, it is Vincent Massey, brother of Raymond Massey of "Doctor Kildare". In Canada, the queen's appointed Governor General is the highest rank of head of state.

Is this information on this website incorrect than? I'm really not that familiar with Perry Mason, so I wouldn't know..
