Fred Thompson got a job!!

Good, now maybe he'll stop doing shite like that video. Ugh. But I'm sure alot of people miss his granddaughter.

Fred Thompson is making good on his threat promise to return to acting. The former U.S. senator, whose presidential dreams went up in smoke earlier this year, has landed a guest stint on ABC's out-of-this-world drama Life on Mars, sources confirm to me exclusively. He'll play the NYPD's chief of detectives in a February episode.
