That’s NOT a fact. I lived in California my entire life until five years ago, and I have been aware of SENATOR Thompson for over a decade, and I NEVER heard of Hunter until recently. Just as many people know him as a Senator as they know him as an actor.
Well that’s you, but even political analyst say that’s why Thompson is known, because he’s an actor.
That’s not a bad thing; Ronald Reagan was an actor, and that helped him get known, too.
To tell you the truth I never knew Thompson’s name until he thought about running, because I don’t watch Law and Order.
