What's funny is that all of the actors and entertainers who became politicians that I can think of up until now have all been Republicans.

Ronald Reagan
Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
Fred Thompson

Darn! I forgot about him. Another Republican. Can anyone name a former entertainer who became a Democratic member of Congress?

Jello Biafra ran for (and came in second place for) the Green party presidential nomination in '04.
