Val Kilmer to stand as New Mexico governor
Batman actor Val Kilmer is considering following in the footsteps of Arnold Schwarzenegger by running for election as a state governor in New Mexico in 2010.
The star has said he is thinking about a move into politics when Democrat Bill Richardson's second term ends.
Kilmer has said: "I'm just looking for ways to be contributive. And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run."
Kilmer, 49, grew up in Los Angeles but has lived in New Mexico for more than two decades.
He is currently registered as a Democrat and said he cast his ballot for Barack Obama in last year's elections.
Kilmer's screen credits include starring in Batman Forever in 1995, as brash fighter pilot Lt Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky in the 1986 hit Top Gun, and rock icon Jim Morrison in the 1991 Oliver Stone film, The Doors.
Kilmer said if he ran it wouldn't have to be a conventional campaign.
He said he had already been getting out and about and listening to people – something he says he's pretty good at.
"What I do for a living is listen," he said, making the prediction: "If I run, I'm going to be the next governor."
