He commanded a fleet that captured the Russian sub Red October and locks up a perp every week. Now he's helping get Judge John Roberts on the Supreme Court.I'm talking about actor turned Senator turned actor Fred Thompson. The Law and Order star has bounced between Hollywood and Washington DC since he served on the Watergate investigation back in the 70s.
He's a genuinely likable guy who still has a lot of friends on both sides of the Senate aisle -- from his days as a Republican Senator from Tennessee. Mr Thompson is showing the Supreme Court nominee around on the Hill. He says he just sits in the background when Judge Roberts meets with Senators these days. But he also meets privately with Senators to talk up the judge. (SF Chronicle)
