Two big name actors were in Lynchburg Saturday campaigning for democrat Barack Obama (web|news|bio) . John Cho and Ben McKenzie have been touring the state and dropped by Obama's downtown headquarters.
McKenzie is known for his role in The OC. Cho starred in Harold and Kumar. Both spoke to supporters about the importance of getting out the vote. McKenzie knows the Virginia well because he went to college at UVA.
Ben McKenzie, Actor - "I think the state is changing very quickly and it's really nice to see people embrace a new kind of figure. And embrace a new way of getting government to work for them."
John Cho, Actor - "I am really here to mostly thank people because Virginians are going to make a real difference in this election."
Also on Obama's behalf, President John F. Kennedy's daughter campaigned across Virginia. Caroline Kennedy made several stops Saturday, including one in Richmond.
