Bernie Sanders starred as a rambling rabbi in a low-budget comedy in 1999, "My Ex-Girlfriend's Wedding Reception" (yes, this is real):

And a cameo in 1988's "Sweet Heart's Dance"

For like 30 seconds, I forgot what Bernie Sanders looks like and all I could think of was Larry David.

The second video won't help with the idea that Bernie just gives free stuff to young people. :/

Awesome videos, though.

And he did the second video while Mayor of Burlington.

Honestly, I was expecting a scandal. Now I just respect Sanders more.

Also random albums, such as

And some documentary of Eugene Debs.

I'm wondering if the album was any good.

You can listen to it the start of the songs here. Maybe he should make his singing This Land is Your Land his campaign song.

He's locked up William Shatner's vote with this.

Yeah, the Sweet Hearts Dance stars Susan Sarandon, I'm surprised I had never heard of it. Makes sense though because in recent days I've heard her mention how she and Bernie were friends. Also, the guy who directed it (also directed Xanadu) apparently abandoned narrative film making and now mostly does left-wing documentaries.

I know he's a pseudo-socialist and stuff, but I can't help like the guy.
