Senators are not usually known for their acting skills, but according
to "Parks and Recreation" star Adam Scott, legislative skills
translate well to the small screen.
"They're all really good. You realize that they're senators, so
they're used to just walking around and just bullsh---ing, so they're
really good actors," Scott told "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Thursday night.
Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Barbara
Boxer (D-Calif.) all filmed cameos for an episode of the sitcom
returning to NBC on Sept. 20.
"He acts in it and he's really good," Scott said of McCain. "It was
really an honor to meet him, he's like cracking jokes, he's like a
grandfather that comes over and has right-wing attitudes."
McCain filmed the cameo in July and tweeted that he had a great time.
"I think it's an Emmy!" he joked.
The actor also revealed that while he had been invited to President
Obama's fundraiser in Beverly Hills this past summer, and flew back
from New York City to attend, he never made it there.
"I was invited, along with a small group of actors and other people
like me who don't deserve to meet the president to come out and meet
him," he said. "I grew up in a family of proud Democrats, and I am a
proud Democrat, so this was a big deal. ... I just remember getting in
my car and ... thinking, 'I think this might be the biggest day of my
life.' "
He said he drove a couple blocks and crashed into three parked cars at
6:30 in the morning.
"Instead of meeting the president, I was standing in the street
wearing a ridiculous suit with three people in their pajamas who were
absolutely furious with me," he said. "I had bragged about it to
everyone."
