According to CBS Boston, the 40-year-old actor is on a list of possible successors to Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the Politico reported.
United States President Barack Obama is likely to nominate Senator John Kerry as his next secretary of state, according to media reports. Kerry, currently the chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations committee, has been a close confidant of Obama on foreign policy issues.
The Republican victory is a major setback to Democrats who would lose their filibuster majority of 60 in the 100-seat Senate, which was essential for President Barack Obama's ambitious health care reform bill to clear the Congress.
The Indo-US civil nuclear deal, climate change, and developments in Pakistan are likely to figure in the discussions that John Kerry, Joseph Biden and Chuck Hagel will have with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and some other leaders.
The wins marked a sweep in the south that extended his dominance to every region of the country.

The Massachusetts senator's win reportedly locks up the delegates he needs to win the Democratic Party's nomination.
He has won all but two of the 12 Democratic primaries so far.

A rising Democratic Party star and vocal critic of President Donald Trump, Harris, if elected, would be the first woman and woman of colour to be the President of the United States.
The "Super Tuesday", or March 3 presidential primaries, were held in as many as 15 states including Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia. Biden, 77, registered impressive victories in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Arkansas, propelling him as the frontrunner in the primaries. However, Sanders, 78, by winning big in the State of California -- which sends 415 pledge delegates -- reflected the fight to win Democratic nomination to challenge Republican incumbent Donald Trump was not over yet.
In a video, announcing her candidacy for the office, Harris said, "Justice. Decency. Equality. Freedom. Democracy. These aren't just words. They're the values we as Americans cherish. And they're all on the line now. The future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values. That's why I'm running for president of the United States."
