Vote for Val!
Val Kilmer is pondering running for governor in 2010, when Democrat Bill Richardson 's second term ends, reports the AP.
"I'm just looking for ways to be contributive," Kilmer said. "And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run."
He has yet to make a formal decision saying, "It's really day to day."
Kilmer, 49, grew up in Los Angeles but has called New Mexico home for more than two decades. He's currently registered as a Democrat and said he cast a ballot for Barack Obama from Bulgaria, where he was filming.
While the actor decides, his plan is to listen to the people -- something he says he's pretty good at.
"What I do for a living is listen," he said, making a bold prediction: "If I run, I'm going to be the next governor."
