Arnold Schwarzenegger: Rep- the star of Predator (among other flicks) went on to become Governor of California.

Jesse “The Body” Ventura: Reform Party when he started, then an Independent- also starred in Predator before going on to become first a Mayor, then Governor of Minnesota.

And now Sonny Landham former Republican and current member of the Libertarian Party is running for Senate, against current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Landham is known best for his role as Billy, the tracker for the elite military group in the flick who stood off against the Predator (bad move) armed with only a knife.

Will Landham make it 3 for 3 in the “from Predator to Politician” switch?

Given his past appearances in x-rated films before getting his break into mainstream fare, his outspoken bluntness-

Landham refers to McConnell, a four-term Republican, as “Boss Hogg” after the corrupt politician from “The Dukes of Hazzard” TV show. He bluntly called Democratic candidate and millionaire businessman Bruce Lunsford an “elitist.”
Even President Bush is a target: “He took us into a war on lies,” Landham said, claiming the actual intent was “to put ‘Big Oil’ back into Iraq.”

-his past jail sentence, or the fact that he’s a member of a 3rd party…

It’s a long shot that Landham will pick up the nomination, but time will tell.

Me personally, I’m waiting for a Carl Weathers run for office.  Remember, he was also Apollo Creed, and that’s as American as you can get.
