Fred Thompson is no stranger to the spotlight. Born in Alabama, Thompson began his professional career as an assistant U.S. attorney, and by 1973 was earning TV time for his role as the minority counsel in the Watergate scandal hearings. Thompson has been a lobbyist off and on since 1975, but is better known for acting career. He’s depicted presidents and governmental figures in over a dozen movies, and for five years played the District Attorney Arthur Branch on NBC’s “Law and Order.” From 1994 until 2003 he represented Tennessee on the U.S. Senate. His campaign contends that with his folksy, southern communication style, Thompson is the candidate best equipped to sell traditional conservative values to the American people. In simple terms, he outlines a pro-life, pro-gun rights agenda and argues for a smaller federal government. Thompson is married to his second wife, Jeri Kehn Thompson, a political consultant. They have two children together, and he has two surviving children from his previous marriage.
Did You Know: In addition to portraying fictional presidents in his acting career, Thompson has twice assumed the role of historical ones. He’s depicted Ulysses S. Grant and voiced Andrew Jackson.

In 1964, the time of Doubt, no one spoke of pedophile priests, even if the Roman Catholic Church was already riddled with them. Directed by John Patrick Shanley from his own play, one of the most provocative recent productions on a Broadway that has surre
Although the wacky, anonymous, eyeball-mask-wearing members of The Residents make a point of labeling it a collection of "pop songs," The Bunny Boy isn't simply a pop album. It's also a cryptic Internet series that "inspired" the album, a live performance
Steve Grimm's place in Milwaukee music history remains secure for having fronted one of the city's most prominent bands to make it to a major label. It's been a while since Bad Boy was a happening entity, but Grimm remains vital-if inextricably linked to
Mitchell Street was once known as the Polish Grand Avenue, the main drag for Milwaukee’s large Polish-American community. The Poles began moving away in the 1970s, making way for new chapters in the city’s immigrant story. Mitchell Street has
Little touches set it apart: the twist of lime on the rim of a glass of cranberry juice, the faux modern paintings on the wall… Ten years after it opened, Metro Bar & Cafe, just off the lobby of Hotel Metro (411 E. Mason St.), remains a timelessly
