44. I've been a Richard Dreyfuss fan since "American Graffiti"

and he was great playing Cheney in "W"....He looked & talked exactly like ol' Dick.

"Mr. Holland's Opus" was probably his best film, a masterpiece, in my opinion.

"Run against Daryl Issa"?....He probably would kick Issa'a ass.

I hope he does enter politics.

We need more popular Dems like Richard Dreyfuss in political office.

IMO, if Al Franken can become a U.S. senator, then Richard Dreyfuss should be able to win a Congressional seat.

Thanks to babylonsister for posting this.
