Foley: Terrible Congressman, Worse ActorOver at Radar, they’ve got your mid-morning muck diversion, a clip from the 2003’s action thriller Strike Force — starring Mark Foley.
In it, Foley gives a straight-to-video performance as Congressman Fairchild, a lawmaker who pays a sack of money to a group of vigilantes (called “The Librarians”) to rescue his kidnapped daughter.
The only other scandal figure we can think of who’s matched Foley’s contribution to cinema is Jack Abramoff, who infected the world with the action flick Red Scorpion, only to redouble the accomplishment with Red Scorpion 2.
Update: From TPMm Reader GN: “You’re forgetting Gary Condit’s cameo in the film Return of the Killer Tomatoes.”
