A scruffy Kevin Kline to visit Capitol Hill

If you see a grizzly-looking, bearded guy getting the VIP treatment
Thursday on Capitol Hill, don’t be alarmed: It’s most likely actor
Kevin Kline, who’ll be lobbying on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation.

{mosads}Kline is scheduled to meet with Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) and Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).

The typically clean-shaven actor is best-known for playing a fictional president in the political comedy “Dave,” but his latest Washington-themed flick required a different look altogether. 

Kline will appear on the big screen later this year as President Abraham Lincoln’s secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, in a film, directed by Robert Redford, about Lincoln’s assassination. Titled “The Conspirator,” Kline stars alongside Robin Wright Penn and James McAvoy.
