Best Politicians That Never Were?

Basically, people that didn't enter politics but perhaps would've been far more successful there than in what they chose to do in OTL.
 
Malcolm Little, if he had become an attorney instead of a black supremacist. He had all the elements of a great leader.
 
Robert New, murdered in a dispute in Charleston in 1948. Had he lived, he could have been a leader among Democrats...or the United Citizens Party.
 
Not that I'd want it to ever happen, but in some reality, I think it could've happened somehow...

I can sort of imagine a reality where somehow Ian Hislop becomes a Liberal Prime Minister and Gordon Brown's an eminent Historian :D
 
William F Cody and Charleton Heston come to mind...
As the head of the NRA, Charlton Heston very much was a politician. He served a very important role in the development of the modern Republican Party apparatus, and was instrumental in the transformation of the NRA from an apolitical organization into an auxiliary of the Republican Party.
 
Charlie Chaplin, he was amazing an amazing speech writer and honestly seemed like someone i would vote for

Charlton Heston would've made a great Democratic Senator for California.

While he did become a politician, his political career was cut short by disease, so I'll let him count: Frederich Bastiat. The lack of his presence is a massive hole in mid-19th century French liberalism. Had he lived, who knows where things might have gone?
