7. Fred Grandy
How does one go from cheesy purser on The Love Boat to Congressman of Iowa? Just ask Fred Grandy. The actor might have been ridiculed when he decided to run in his home state, and was labeled the “fancy-educated, fool actor,” but none of this stopped Grandy. His pursuance paid off and the actor turned politician was appointed from 1987 to 1995. He stepped back into the world of show business as a radio show host for The Grandy and Andy Show, after losing the 1994 primary for the Iowa governorship by a few hairs.
