Famous Actor Nicholson Endorses Hillary In a Videoclip

Using lines belonging to five of his most famous roles, Hollywood actor Jack Nicholson took his endorsement of presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton to a whole new level in a video posted online Saturday.

The notorious Hollywood heavyweight asked the help of his director friend Rob Reiner to put together a series of scenes from "The Shining," "A Few Good Men," "Batman," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest" and "Five Easy Pieces" in a short, amusing video entitled "Jack and Hill," which was posted on YouTube.

Starting off with The Joker from 1989's "Batman," quipping: "It’s time for, 'Who do you trust?' Hubba-hubba-hubba, money, money, money, who do you trust?" the video continues with a clear and serious message: "Don’t we need a president we can trust to be ready to go on day one?"

"Things could be better, Lloyd. Things could be a whole lot better," Nicholson, as frustrated writer Jack Torrance, tells Lloyd the bartender in "The Shining." In the movie, Nicholson's character then goes on a murderous rampage. In the video, a message flashes onscreen saying Clinton "has a plan to deal with the nearly 47 million Americans without health care."

The next sequence features a scene from "A Few Good Men" in which angry Col. Nathan Jessep shouts "Maybe we as officers have a responsibility to this country to see that the men and women charged with its security are trained professionals," followed by a message referring to Clinton's plan to bring the troops home and restore America's credibility worldwide.

Last but not least, Nicholson's character from "A Few Good Men" points out the fact that "There’s nothing sexier than saluting a woman."

The video, made without Clinton's knowledge, ends with 70-year-old Nicholson giving his approval, "I'm Jack Nicholson, and I approve this message."

"They decided to do this as something on their own to assist her campaign," "Jack and Hill" spokesman, Yusuf K. Robb, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

In a surprise announcement on Rick Dee's show, the three-time Oscar-winning actor backed up Hillary Clinton for president.

"Mrs. Clinton has been involved in issues, everything from health care, which we know and prison reform and helping the military, speaking for women and speaking for Americans," Nicholson explained.
