RENO, Nevada (AP) -- Dennis Haysbert likes to believe his portrayal as the first African-American U.S. president on Fox's "24" may have helped pave the way for Barack Obama.
Dennis Haysbert, who appeared on Fox's "24," says some fans come up to him and ask him to run for office.
"If anything, my portrayal of David Palmer, I think, may have helped open the eyes of the American people," said the actor, who has contributed $2,300 to the Illinois Democrat's presidential campaign.
"And I mean the American people from across the board -- from the poorest to the richest, every color and creed, every religious base -- to prove the possibility there could be an African-American president, a female president, any type of president that puts the people first," he said Tuesday.

Seriously. Actors need to get a grip and understand their insignificance. As a matter of fact most people need to take a step back and digest the fact that they are not the center of the world.
