It is extremely refreshing to see an actor take this position. Sadly, the new generation of Hollywood stars has a different opinion. Take Mark Ruffalo, the millionaire actor who recently endorsed Bernie Sanders. This multi-millionaire (who's reportedly worth $30 million) wrote on Twitter that "its time for an economic revolution. Capitalism today is failing us, killing us, and robbing from our childrens future."

Hit your mark. Say your lines. Make sure the office knows where to send your check.

A man who knows his limitations.

Most actors and entertainers use political controversy to provide them the attention their acting talent will not do.
Hopkins doesn’t have to use that tactic.

Then I asked Brad, “What’s in the box?”

Im sure Mark Ruffalo would be just fine receiving his daily bowl of government-provided gruel in payment for his acting effort.

I think he pretty much does make a statement by saying actors are pretty stupid, at least the ones who comment on politics.
To: Rummyfan
He’s definitely the smartest actor since Anthony Quinn passed on.

OK,that's a plausible explanation. Another good one I heard of was from Michael Jordan when he said he doesn't talk about politics “because Republicans buy sneakers too”.

Successful actors are those who succeed in pleasing producers,
One way or another...
And always have been.

More than that, he understands on which side his bread is buttered.
There are so many performers that I enjoyed immensely - Whoopi, Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, Cher - before they started spouting their ignorant politics. Now I can’t watch them without knowledge of their personal attitudes interfering with and spoiling the roles that they play.
They need to learn something about the importance to a performer of cultivating a certain level of mystery regarding his or her personal life.

You know why these celebrities are speaking out, is because Trump is shutting down their child trafficking networks and drug pipelines.
And ironically, one of the loudest voices is De Niro. You would think a guy like De Niro would take a hint from one of his characters in his mob movies. He would simply just shut up. The fact that he's screaming about Trump tells me he's done some nefarious s--t.
