Jon Voight with a president cameo? October 27th, 2008

In an inter­view with Jon Voight, MTV have revealed that the actor is very much inter­ested in a quick cameo appear­ance as the pres­i­dent; if some­one lets him that is!

But what about Jon Voight, who played the Sec­re­tary of Defense John Keller? When we caught up with Angelina Jolie’s dad at the pre­mière of his film, “Pride and Glory,” he told us that while he has yet to film any­thing for “Trans­form­ers 2,” there’s still time to get in a quick appearance.

“I should be able to make a cameo,” Voight said. “That’s a good idea. Let’s talk to those guys about that.” And he even has a suggestion.

Voight said doing the first “Trans­form­ers” was “really a lot of fun,” that direc­tor Michael Bay “did a bril­liant job,” and LaBeouf, who he had worked with pre­vi­ously on “Holes,” was “won­der­ful,” so he’d be happy to come back. But how?

“It all depends on the plot, of course,” he said, “and what the plot needs, you know. But the Sec­re­tary of Defense, we want to know what hap­pens to him. Was there a new admin­is­tra­tion that came in? Maybe he ran for pres­i­dent. Maybe he became president.”

Con­sid­er­ing that “Trans­form­ers 2” will be com­ing out fol­low­ing an elec­tion year, it could work. (Voight him­self, as you might guess from his work in “An Amer­i­can Carol,” sup­ports John McCain).

“I don’t know [if they’ll green-light a ‘Trans­form­ers’ cameo],” Voight said. “But I enjoyed being in that movie. It would be fun.”
