Sonny Landham carved out a tough-guy reputation in a series of big-screen roles, from roughing up Sylvester Stallone to getting tossed out a window by Carl Weathers. He pulls no punches in his newest role: Libertarian challenger to a man known for political toughness, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Now 67 and living in northeastern Kentucky, the man who played Billy Bear in "48 Hours" and was killed by an alien in "Predator" admits his action-movie days are behind him. "I think I'm having wild action when I take two aspirin with my hot chocolate at night," he quipped.

Landham refers to McConnell, a four-term Republican, as "Boss Hogg" after the corrupt politician from "The Dukes of Hazzard" TV show. He bluntly called Democratic candidate and millionaire businessman Bruce Lunsford an "elitist."
Even President Bush is a target: "He took us into a war on lies," Landham said, claiming the actual intent was "to put 'Big Oil' back into Iraq."

But the bid includes some campaign baggage that seems scripted for Hollywood, instead of socially conservative Kentucky. Early in his acting career in the 1970s, Landham bared it all in adult films.
Asked whether that could hurt him politically, Landham replied, "What can I do? That was a part of my life you cannot call back."

I guess he's hoping that some of that karma from being in the movie "Predator" is going to rub off. Good luck dude!

Never thought about it. Two cast members did become governor, didn't they? Swarzeneggar and Ventura.

I would think prison time and a porno would make him a non-starter. But hey, D.C. voted Marion Berry back in and he's now back on the city council so....I don't underestimate stupid people anymore.

If it's on a bumper sticker it must be true. :whatever: Another good-for-nothing Liberal-tarian. Next!

This guy was doing hard core before he made Predator. He's going to have it all dregged up. I'm sure that in some film vault some minor thug has every inch :tongue: of his taped action saved for just such a thing. It is always so, isn't it?
A woman I know grabbed up all the teen years tapes of that actress who was on thet SI FI invasion series a few years ago.
Yeah, someone's got the Bear on tape....
