Actor Alan Cumming is trying to attain U.S. citizenship - so that he can vote for presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The Scottish actor, who has been campaigning in a bid to win gay votes for the Democrat, will take a citizenship test in October in order to vote for Obama in the forthcoming election.

He says, "I've got the questions and the answers. Now all I've got to do is memorize them. It's just like learning a lot of lines, so I kind of think that as an actor, I'll be better prepared than most."
