No, like Irishgit said, most actors don't want to take the paycut. Frankly it wouldn't make a lot of sense for actors to get into the political battlefield where they won't have people kissing their asses all the time. And if an actor wants to run for public office, let them. We need new blood to get into the fray. The founders did not design this political system exclusively for careerists; there are many ways to the top. A blend of different experiences makes for better decisionmaking at the end of the day. Actors can win political office, but obviously it'll all come down to whether they have sensible views and if have the ability to run a competent campaign.
