Now that his run as Republican presidential candidate has come to an end, Fred Thompson is going back to Hollywood to do what he does best, act.
He has apparently signed with William Morris Agency to set up future film and television roles.
This comes just months after Thompson made big news, throwing his hat into the ring for the Republican presidential nomination.
He had quite a fanbase, but it was not enough as his late start ended up hurting him in the end, with John McCain coming out as the clear winner.
Thompson is well-known on TV in the show Law & Order, as well as other films such as The Hunt for Red October, No Way Out, and o thers.
