Appearance On H&C.

Last Thursday April 24, Fred Thompson had his first interview since dropping out of the presidential race on the show "Hannity & Colmes" on Fox News. Several issues were covered, including what he is currently doing and if he is willing to be the Vice President if McCain calls him. Thompson said that he is currently unemployed and is enjoying relaxing and not having to do the same speech every day, Thompson refers to it as a virtue, "It's the virtue of -- the virtue of being unemployed." When Thompson was asked if he regretted any aspect of his campaign he responded that he felt as if he should have entered earlier, "As it turned out, I underestimated the time it would take, you know, to staff up and to get our fundraising organization together." Another major topic that they interview touched on is McCain and his campaign. Thompson, although at times disagreed with McCain, feels as if McCain is solid on the issues that matter, "I would say to my friends that, on all of the issues that are most important to this country and to our future, and to the future generations, John McCain is solid on." Thompson formally said that he would not be the Vice Presidential nominee, even if McCain asks him to be. Thompson feels as if McCain deserves someone else and of different characteristics, " I think John needs somebody else. I would advise him, if he asked me, that he needs somebody else and of a different profile." It was an informative interview that concluded with Thompson's comments on the Democratic battle and his thoughts of Obama. Thompson believes that Obama is obscure and inexperienced, "Well, Senator Obama is a great unknown. I think seldom, if ever, has anyone gotten this far in the process and we've known less about them. He's new, and he's inexperienced."

He's Baaaaack!!

After that disappointing campaign candidate Fred Thompson went missing for several months. Now it appears as if Thompson has resurfaced with enthusiasm and vivacity. Recently, Thompson received roles in up coming films, however the films are unknown. Thompson will no longer be starring in "Law and Order." He has decided to move away from television and move on to the big screen since his unmemorable run for president. Thompson signed on with the prestigious acting agency William Morris. Although there is no information on what his next projects will be it is speculated that he will be cast as the usual political person. The William Morris Agency is one of the largest talent agencies in the entertainment industry. It was founded in 1898 and has since then has grown to 6 locations including New York, Beverly Hills, and Shanghai. The public is anxious to see former Republican candidate star in a major motion picture. Thompson hasn't really been in any blockbusters, hopefully soon we will see him in a greater light.
