It's a question I'd long been asking myself: who else from the movie Predator can we get to legislate in Washington? I've simply never been satisfied with only two cast mates.
Now, finally, an answer.
Sonny Landham joins Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jessie Ventura in the very difficult transition from feared killer without feelings to Washington Politician. Landham is looking to be the Libertarian challenger to Republican Senate Minority Leader and lothario Mitch McConnell in Kentucky's 2008 Senate Race.
Sonny has been an iconic tough-guy, carving out a niche as the much feared "mysterious and dangerous Indian Guy" in classic 80's blockbusters Predator (as "Billy") and 48 Hours (as "Billy Bear").
He also starred in 1996's Billy Lone Bear, as Billy.
And played Sheriff Billy in an episode of Hardcastle and McCormick.
But sensing a dearth in Washington of former porn-stars who have served time in a federal prison, Landham feels that now is his time to shine brightly again. Sonny is looking to drive (now Pilot) his own Straight Talk Express, saying "PC is BS. Say what you mean, mean what you say."
Sonny needs just 5000 signatures to get his name on the ballot. You can find the petition here.
Of course, please be sure to fill out the petition in strict accordance with Kentucky Law.
Good luck, Sonny!
trivium -
Landham's character was not named Billy in 1975's The Passions of Carol, a hard-core pornography re-telling of Charles Dickens's classic "A Christmas Carol", staring Mary Stewart as "Carol Scrooge" and Arturo Millhouse as "The Ghost of Christmas Past".

I think Mark "Skid" McCormack should run for public office. But only if he brings back that beaut' fro he was rockin' in the 80's. He'd get my vote no matter what platform he was running on.
Check some Predator trivia from IMDB - "Sonny Landham was hired to work on this film, but on one condition: the insurance company insisted on a round-the-clock bodyguard for Landham, not to protect the actor, but to protect everyone else from the actor (who was prone to bar fights, etc.)"
