Is it type-casting, or just dumb luck that Fred Thompson, the actor, always plays a giant dick, barking orders and making the hero’s life difficult? It makes me wonder if he knows how to play any other kind of role. As President, one wonders if his management style is to tell his underlings to get the fuck out of his way or he’ll have them stationed in Alaska. This, to his fans, is considered leadership and charisma, I suppose.
