Outgoing, easygoing, and soon going (fingers crossed) to One Observatory Circle, the official Vice President's home, Douglas Emhoff will be the very first Second Gentleman if Biden and Harris are elected in November.
Emhoff has an upbeat personality; he talks like a happy man. He'll continue his entertainment law practice in Washington, DC. "It's something I love and that I'm good at it," he told The Hollywood Reporter in March, according to Fox News.
Harris was California's Attorney General when they met, at the suggestion of a client. Crisette Hudlin, whose husband Reginald Hudlin was a producer for Django Unchained, advised Harris not to look Emhoff up on Google before she met him. "Don't overthink it," Hudlin said.
It was not precisely a "blind date." Emhoff phoned Harris to set it up. An old hand in Hollywood, Emhoff was nonetheless star-struck enough to leave Harris a comically long, rambling phone message that Harris kept. They listen to it on anniversaries. August 22 -- Saturday -- will be their sixth. Harris and Emhoff are both age 55.
Emhoff has two grown children who call Harris "Momala." The Jewish Telegraphic Agency says the pronunciation is identical to the Yiddish word mamele ("Little Mama.")
Emhoff is Jewish and Caucasian, while Harris' parents were from India and the Caribbean. When Emhoff and Harris married, Harris gave him a necklace of flowers, part of a traditional Indian wedding, and Emhoff stepped on a glass, part of a traditional Jewish wedding.
Like any Hollywood insider, Emhoff knows what it means to "create" a role. He'll have to meet expectations that are not fully known. He'll have to prove that he's his own person, rather than some kind of masculine arm candy. He'll have to endear himself to the public and to Harris' political associates. He'll need to show his personality, but not so much that he steals Harris' scenes.
I think we can be hopeful.
