Good news (or not): You can see Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy do a little acting in The Dark Knight rises later this month. The movie is the third installment of filmmaker Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy.

Leahy was invited to be in the movie and says he learned recently he’ll appear in a scene with Christian Bale, who plays Batman, and Morgan Freeman.

Leahy also appeared in 2008′s Dark Knight. Photo from his scene in that movie to the right.
