In light of John McCain's strange appearance in Wedding Crashers (see below), what other cameos are there from politicians in movies?



Mikhail Gorbachev was in some movie not so long ago. Then there's Al Gore, Ronald Reagan, Arnold... ?

Senator Patrick Leahy is in Dark Knight as the old guy who stands up to the Joker during the party scene.  I believe he's also in Batman and Robin during the auction scene.

I'd never even heard of Reagan acting opposite a monkey, that's awesome.

And all this time i thought Bedtime for Bonzo was a documentry about the President-Vice President relationship between Reagan and Bush Sr. ha!

It may have gone something like this.



Some top quality editing there by me.

Some good stuff here guys, keep em coming!

You can't go wrong with Former Senator of Tennessee Fred Dalton Thompson, who was briefly a 2008 Presidential candidate.  You've seen him in like a kajillion movies including such films as NO WAY OUT, HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER,CURLY SUE(?!?!?!) and DIE HARD 2.



That last one reminds of one of the funnest moments on THE SIMPSONS last season:  Homer is running for office and ends up with a house full of reporters and other politicians who want to get into bed with him (Ewwww!).  Anyway, he gets fed up with everyone and kicks them all out of the house.  Homer then notices Former Senator Fred Dalton Thompson hiding behind a potted plant and barks for him to leave.  Thompson, in a pleading voice", proclaims: "But Homer I was in DIE HARD".  In response, Homer snorts derisively at him and mutters, "Yeah, DIE HARD 2."

Does Jesse "The Body" Ventura count? He was an actor/wrestler before he was a politician but... he's also awesome in Predator and The Running Man (but not so much Demolition Man)
