ReplyDeleteI like this guy, I remember him from The Corner (a very realistic miniseries from David Simon, before The Wire, it's extremely good but hard to watch) and his appereance in the season 2 premiere of Oz (I think he investigated the riot).
Yeah, he was in the season 2 premiere of Oz and later also appeared on the show when he was running for senator. But then you only saw him in his TV commercials.
