The Florida Times-Union is reporting that Forest Whitaker, the actor who won an academy award for his portrayal of Ugandan despot Idi Amin Dada in The Last King of Scotland, will be campaigning for Barack Obama in Jacksonville, tomorrow.

The paper says,

Whitaker will speak about 11  a.m. in the Milne Auditorium on Edward Waters’ campus about the important of college students registering to vote. The speech is free to all. He’ll then head to UNF’s campus to speak about 12:15 p.m. on The Green. He’ll then travel to other campuses across Florida.

I am imagine being a good 250 lbs and being a black belt in karate, Mr. Whitaker hasn’t experienced the same kind of challenges other folks named Forest ritually face these days.

(He really is a black belt. Look it up).
