Celebrities running for office is nothing new. Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were actors and TV stars before winning office.

Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota was a star on Saturday Night Live. Other movie stars who have held office include Sonny Bono, Jesse Ventura and Clint Eastwood.
There’s even rumor that former talk show host and one-time Cincinnati mayor Jerry Springer may run for office again.
What other Ohio celebrities do you think should run for office?
Here’s a list of some possibilities:
Toni Morrison: The author of such books as Beloved was born in Lorain. She's 86, but that's the new 60.
Martin Sheen: He's already been president on The West Wing, but he could always come back to his native Dayton and run for something. He grew up in South Park, graduated from Chaminade High School and even returned to Dayton over the years for political events. He campaigned for Al Gore in Dayton in 2000.
P.J. O'Rourke: The political satirist and journalist is a native of Toledo. He once said "If government were a product, selling it would be illegal."
Halle Berry: The Oscar winner and Cleveland native has some political experience on screen. She played a black activist in the political comedy Bulworth with Warren Beatty.
Drew Carey: The Cleveland native took over The Price is Right from Bob Barker. If you can do that, you can do anything. He's an outspoken libertarian, so that's trendy.
Nancy Cartwright: The voice of Bart Simpson, she can connect with Generation Xers and millennials. A native of the Dayton suburb of Kettering may help her get the women's vote in the burbs.
Dave Chappelle: The Yellow Springs area resident has a softer side that could appeal to voters. His help with charities and support of the community helps. He once called Yellow Springs people "the best neighbors ever."
Phil Donahue: The former Dayton TV star and national talk show host would be a natural for politics. One of his most regular guests was 2000 presidential candidate Ralph Nader. Donahue even campaigned for him.
Carmen Electra: A native of the Cincinnati suburbs, the one-time Prince protege and star of Meed the Spartans and Scary Movie. As a lifeguard on Baywatch, she showed that she cares about people.
Steve Harvey: The comedian and game show host can do it all. A native of Cleveland and 14-time NAACP Image Award winner could do very well in northeast Ohio.
Woody Harrelson: He's from Lebanon, fought for free speech in The People vs. Larry Flynt (where he played another Ohio icon) and he is known to like his marijuana.
John Legend: The Springfield native has won everything from an Oscar, a Tony a Golden Globe and 10 Grammys. He doesn't seem to lose. If he were to run, he'd win.
Allison Janney: She grew up in the Dayton area, graduated from The Miami Valley School and served as White House chief of staff and press secretary on The West Wing. If she ran for anything, she'd be hard to beat with that resume.
Ted Levine: The Bellaire native played serial killer Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs. Whatever he ran for, he'd likely run unopposed.
Omarosa Manigault: Nobody in Ohio has more pull with President Donald Trump than this Central State University grad and Youngstown native. A contestant on The Apprentice, she has a direct line to the White House.
Bootsy Collins: Nobody could bring the funk to politics like Bootsy. The Cincinnati Rock and Roll Hall of Famer would also help bring some fashion to politics.
Drew Lachey: The boy-band icon from Cincinnati, and Dancing With the Stars winner, was also a combat medic in the Army.
LeBron James: He's probably the most popular person in Ohio and he brought Cleveland its first championship in decades. If he won public office, there would probably be a parade from Cincinnati to Cleveland.
Pete Rose: The Hit King may not be in the Hall of Fame, but if the Cincinnati native ever ran for office, most voters would bet on him.
