Just when you thought the race for U.S. Senate was getting dull, Central Casting has sent Sonny Landham to play the part of the libertarian candidate. Landham is attempting to collect enough signatures to run for Mitch McConnell's seat in the U.S. Senate.
Before entering politics, Landham appeared in action films, including Predator (which also featured Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura). Landham is "known for his powerful physique, booming voice and his American Indian heritage," according to Townhall writer Bruce Schreiner.
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.
Please don't send me any YouTube videos of his former films.
If Landham decides to reprise Greg Fischer's campaign ad against Bruce "Mud Man" Lunsford -- complete with mud wrestling -- he can do his own stunts. Who knows; that could have been Landham in the original ad.
Maybe that's why he's running. Perhaps Landham is looking for the chance to get to know Bruce Lunsford, say at a candidates' debate. That could be Landham's entree into a Lunsford-Hart film. (Look out, Sundance!)
Landham is 67 years old. He resides in Ashland with his fifth wife and three of his four children.
