This is of course John Wilkes Booth shooting President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. Beyond that it's hard to tell. It doesn't look like Henry Fonda, Raymond Massey, or Royal Dano, all actors who famously played Lincoln.

You're right--it's hard to tell. It was the best photo I could find a movie version of Lincoln, if you can believe that. It's Walter Huston from D.W. Griffith's Abraham Lincoln (1930). Though to my thinking, Griffith's Lincoln looked more like Mr. Hyde than Honest Abe.
