From Donald Trump to John McCain: 10 Politicians Who Have Made Cameos in Major Movies and Television Shows
Al Gore in '30 Rock'
Chris Christie in 'The Michael J. Fox Show'

Donald Trump in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'
According to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York director Chris Columbus, Donald Trump "bullied his way into the movie" so they could film inside the Plaza Hotel.
“The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie," the ex-president allegedly said.
Trump denied the claims in a Truth Social post, writing, “Nothing could be further from the truth. That cameo helped make the movie a success, but if they felt bullied, or didn’t want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there, for over 30 years? Because I was, and still am, great for the movie, that’s why! Just another Hollywood guy from the past looking for a quick fix of Trump publicity for himself!”
Elizabeth Warren in 'Alpha House'
Elizabeth Warren appeared as herself in the Amazon sitcom Alpha House, which also featured other politicians like John McCain, Chuck Schumer and Anthony Weiner.
In the episode she was featured in, Warren signed autographs for her book A Fighting Chance.
