...screenplay of “Children of Men” and the announcement of several major writing deals, including Marvel Entertainment’s upcoming “Iron Man,” it might seem as though Fergus and writing partner Hawk Ostby are walking a predetermined path to cinematic success. But Fergus cautions against such delusions of grandeur.“The vast majority of the forces that define our destiny are completely out of our control,” says Fergus in an in-person interview with The Crimson.

To his credit, Franken is aware that convincing people he's serious won't be easy. The path from regularly playing a character called Liam the Loose-Boweled Leprechaun to voting on whether to send people to war is longer than most political journeys--even those, like the candidacies of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sonny Bono, that also started on the screen...
