NP: Actors, Politicians

[Henry]

Reagan was as bad a president as actor.
Nixon was a pretty good president, but a rather bad person, and an actor
even worse than Reagan.
Johnson was bigger than life; Humphrey wasn't.
Bush is a bad actor, and Cheney doesn't/didn't even try.  Whatever became of
Dick?

We've seen actors become politicians; have there been any politicians who
have become actors?  (Saying they all are would be a cheap shot, so I won't
say it.)

Reagan's only program was "Death Valley Days".
 
All of the others were Dick Cheney's.
 
 
...and they're now in reruns.

from the obit:
"Stars such as John Wayne and Kirk Douglas were delighted to make
brief appearances, and even Richard Nixon, running for president in
1968, dropped in to shout a befuddled sounding, "Sock it to me!" His
opponent, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, was offered equal time but
declined because his handlers thought it would appear undignified."
