Grover Norquist as a Drunken Bum

Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, plays a wino in “Atlas Shrugged: Part 2.”

According to WaPo, Norquist first shot an office scene, handing a three-ring binder to Dagny Taggart’s assistant.  Then producers suggested a second role. For a scene where Dagny and Hank Rearden walked along the street discussing the decline of society, they put Norquist in the background as some kind of down-and-out businessman, slumped on a stone bench, a bottle of wine in his lap. They roughed up his face with makeup, and messed up his hair, but he wore his own suit.
