Actor Kelsey Grammer said he HAS "wrestled" with possibly running for political office “in some way” in the coming years.

“It would possibly tick that box for me, in terms of the service I feel I should have given to my fellow man — to my fellow countrymen — that I missed in the military,” Grammer said during an interview with Us Weekly. “Maybe that would be the way to do it. I have wrestled with it.”

Grammer, 71, who stars in the new movie, Young Washington, said it's likely he will run for elected office.

“I’m vital and prepared to stay that way for quite a while, and yes, it’s likely I will at least throw my hat in the ring in some way,” he said.
