Funny, for some reason, and despite the overwhelming political bias of actors and celebrities, most successful actors-turned-politicians have been Republicans. We all know about Reagan, Schwarzeneggar, Fred Thompson, and Clint Eastwood. Perhaps we also remember Senator George Murphy, Ambassadors Shirley Temple and John Gavin, Congressman Fred Grandy, Mayor Alan Autry, and Governor John David Lodge, who were all Republicans too. But for the Democrats? Even if you count Jerry Springer, I can only think of Al Franken, Helen Gahagan and Ben Jones.
