He had to wait until Tommy Thompson dropped out of the race. There's a law against having more than one Thompson run for President at the same time.

I'm confused.

He's a lawyer who became a senator who became an actor who played a lawyer so he could become president?

j/k - I really don't know that much about his political convictions but he seems to be a breath of fresh air.

"I'm not an actor, but I play one on TV..."

Two of our last four presidents have been actors.
One was a much better president, and the other was a FAR better actor.

Just to correct the timeline, he's a lawyer who became an actor who became a senator who went back to being an actor ...

I remember seeing him on Wiseguy back in the 80s and he didn't become a senator until 1994.

lawyer = actor = senator. Pretty much the same job with different unions.

I'm still waiting for the Al Pacino / James Gandolfini ticket.
