Fan Casting Vice President James Albertson in 9th Area 2

Vice President James Albertson is a calculating political operative navigating the murky intersection of government power and classified secrets. As the second-in-command, he presents a polished public facade of competence and patriotism, but harbors his own agenda beneath the surface. Albertson is caught between loyalty to his president and the pressure from shadowy forces demanding access to the mysteries of Area 9. His character arc involves moral compromise—each decision pulling him deeper into complicity with forces beyond his control. He's intelligent enough to recognize the danger but ambitious enough to rationalize his choices. Albertson represents the institutional corruption that enables conspiracies to flourish at the highest levels of government. (P.S this is Hal smith’s final film role because of his death in 1994)
