Law and Order actor to fill in for Paul Harvey

by Adam Finley, posted Feb 28th 2006 11:31AM

fred thompsonFred Thompson, a former senator from Tennessee and the actor best known for the role of District Attorney Arthur Branch on Law and Order, recently signed on to ABC Radio as a "special program host and senior analyst." When he's not providing commentary, he'll be filling in for venerable radio icon Paul Harvey when Harvey is on vacation. I just hope Thompson can make those air purification systems sound as appealing as Harvey can. I've purchased so many of them I'm afraid I'll be contaminated if I try to leave my apartment.

Best known for his role on Law and Order? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

Gordy: He was being considered for higher office. When Bush was originally elected, the popular rumor was that Thompson was on the VERY short list for Supreme Court nomination

Fred Thompson is becoming a bit of a media darling.
- he's a former congressman,
- he held John Roberts' hand as he went through the nomination process,
- he's on a great TV show, or three,
- he makes the Sunday morning talk show rounds,
- and now he takes on radio.

Man, his agent is working overtime. I wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't considering a higher office in the future.
