That fred thompson guy is a "movie star"? WTF?

[The_Casual_Observer]

Saw a clip of that clown at their "debate", that old babbling geezer had orange hair & looked like a corpse. What is that all about?

1. He was in a few movies

No way out and Hunt for Red October

Proably a few more.

I think he pretty much plays himself in movies. A grumpy old white dude in a power position.

Edit to add. Here's his imdb link http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000669/

Looks like he did quite a bit of work. I had no idea he did that many.

2. The only movie I remember him from is

Hunt for Red October and ....? Days of Thunder?(was he in that? trying not to google here).

3. Die Hard 2, FEDS

4. Are you thinking of Tommy Thompson?

[Marr]

5. Hey if a b-movie actor like Reagan can be called a movie star...

I don't see why Thompson can't. At least his supporting roles were in big budget crappy movies, rather than small budget crappy movies.

6. interesting how being an actor is an automatic dismissal for a liberal, but...

the gop/msm HATES hollywood liberals with a passion, finds them humorous tabloid fodder, totally ill-suited to government. acting is absolutely no qualifier for government.

unless, of course, you're a republicans, in which case what the hell is wrong with an acting background???

7. I only remember him in Die Hard 2.
