Ronald Reagan - Former actor
Grey Davis - Attempting to be an actor
Arnold Schw. - Fromer(?) actor


Is it some fad to be a celebrity before or after your in the Californian government?

All that matters is whether or not that individual does a good job. I really don't care if that person had an acting career because actors do hard work and it's not cakewalk, despite popular belief. I think Arnold really wants to help the state out and is doing what he can. Despite lack of political experience, he knows what it is to work hard. A career in acting has taught him that. This is what I believe, of course.

In all honesty, I think his career in body-building helped establish his work ethic more than his acting career.

Ronald reagan wasnt exactly Famous. He was a B movie actor. Gray davis is not an actor. And Arnie was probably just trying to piss off his wife.

I said he's currently ATTEMPTING to become an actor

Go through a few hundred music videos on Launch Yahoo, there's an ad with him saying he's searching for an agent so he can become an actor

Haha. I know. I felt sorry for Gay Davis when I saw that commercial. Then I realized that this was the same politician that said "We're going to terminate the terminator!" and then proceeded to do a high-pitched nerd laugh.

All politicians have to be actors to some degree, I suppose.

You mean just lying all the time or pretending to be shocked and offended when people accuse you of things? (like fixing the election....) Or keeping a straight face when condoning plagariasm and forgery?
