I've racked my brain trying to come up with examples, and this response
is probably too late for you. The movie "My Cousin Vinny" has two
examples: District Attorney Jim Trotter's presentations to the jury,
complete with calculated gestures and word emphasis; and the poor
stuttering defense attorney John Gibbons (played by Austin Pendleton,
who stuttered in real life.)

Thanks for the thoughts; the presentation was yesterday and went well.

In retrospect I also might have considered the movie Bob Roberts; the
Roberts character is a very good speaker, whereas the Brickley Paiste
character is quite ineffective. Howeve,r given the political content it
might not have worked.
