As a filmmaker, I'm sure you are quite aware that making a film has little to do with making a speech to an audience. The skills of a good orator are more closely compared to those of stage actors and film actors generally have a lot of respect for stage actors. Obviously, being a good stage actor doesn't mean you would be a good President. I also have never said that I thought that Reagan was a good President (quite the contrary actually). However, the skills of a stage actor (and to some extent a film actor) can be put to great use as a President. Reagan was a good orator. You may not agree with the policies he was pushing (I usually didn't) but he was effective in selling them because he really was a good orator.
