Bill Clinton Was Offered A Role In Fallout 3

When trying to cast the President of the United States, who's better suited for the role than the pres himself? That was Hollywood-based talent acquisition agency Blindlight's thinking, as they tried to get none other than former president Bill Clinton for Fallout 3.

"Celebrity acquisition applies not just to celebrity actors but to sports figures, politicians - we've made offers to Bill Clinton for video games and gotten great responses with attorneys who have said, 'The former president will not participate in one of your video game products, thank you very much," Blindlight general manager Lev Chapelsky told Edge.

"Wouldn't that have been brilliant? You get to that point in [Fallout 3] and you hear that voice in the ether coming from off-camera and you're like, 'I know that guy!"

Well, it was certainly worth a try. In the meantime, there's still time for the first appearance of a president in a video game. Hopefully it'll be in the next Bad Dudes
