What moron thinks that because a person is an actor, said person has any redeeming qualities, period? The actor's sole talent is to escape from reality, for a living. That doesn't mean they have anything meaningful to say about politics, or that their lives should be held up to scrutiny. I've got three words for ya: "Get a life!"

No wonder so many actors are liberals.

President Ronald Reagan and General James Stewart were actors. So was Bob Hope, who entertained a lot of troops. Lee Marvin was a decorated marine who fought in the Pacific theatre. Ed Kemmer (tv character actor) was a fighter pilot who received the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters. Walter Matthau earned six combat stars flying bomber missions as a gunner. I'm sure you know about Audie Murphy.

The point I'm trying to make is that it's the person, not the profession, to which redeeming qualities, or the lack of them, should be associated with.

Amen.

It was one of the Beatles who asked (in the early 60's) after a reporter quizzed him about Vietnam (paraphrase) "why do American's care what celebrities have to say about anything". Good question.
