What moron thinks that because a person is an actor, said person has any redeeming qualities, period?

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.

General James Stewart?

You mean Jimmy Stewart, as in It's a Wonderful Life?

I did not know he was a "General".

I thought that, at age 33, he enlisted as private and rose to colonel in the Air Force, leading one thousand plane strikes against Germany, and that he won the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
