Well, there's been Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor, and Fred Grandy (Gopher on The Love Boat) as US Representative. I don't find this much more surprising.

And a past president who was a movie star….

As well as some former professional athletes (Jack Kemp, Bill Bradley, Steve Largent to name a few)

I wouldn't give my vote to anyone who cheated on Topanga

He ran for some low level city seat and only got like 6% of the vote. His biggest issue running in a district like that is that he's not well known enough. He doesn't stand a chance, unless he brings in Mr. Feeny as campaign manager.

Lauren’s fault, not his.

LOL!

His campaign slogan should be “life’s tough, get a helmet”.

I will say, he seems to more down to earth as a person compared to other celebrities.

And Shirley Temple grew up to be a U.S. Ambassador.

We may have President Rock in the next decade too.

You left out Al Franken.

I hated that show but I wouldn't hold it against him.

I'm at the point that I would like minimal requirements for these top offices, no different than having minimal requirements for most jobs.

He has his Political Science degree from Stanford and interned for a Senator.

Don't forget Sonny Bono ;-)

And let us not forget Jesse Ventura, Will Rogers, and Fred Thompson.

Yesterday, that Knight guy brought up Screech and astronauts, now Ben Savage as a politician.

Who's the next TV actor to come crawling out of obscurity and into the DIS?

Likely none other than Clint Howard.

Bill Bradley, basketball ball pro was Senator.

Doubtful. Ventura should be a cautionary tale.
