I cannot confidently say there are many conservatives in any motion pitcure or visual media anymore - it seems the new "casting couch" involves making a public statement of "George Bush Is An Idiot", or some formula to that effect, if one wants to work in the industry.

Discuss?

Jimmy Stewart (born here in my hometown), died in the 1990’s - can’t remember exact year. Was a true conservative.

Jon Voight is supposed to be a conservative since 9/11.

Being conservative in "Hollyweird" is the new "gay." You stay in the closet. Outward exhibition of conservatism is a career-limiting move.

There are the Patricia Heatons and Chuck Norrises, but they are relegated to bit parts. They became famous and likable before their political persuasion was known or cared about. Clint Eastwood is conservative, but he's an aging dinosaur.

I suspect that there are probably many more "in the clost" conservatives, but they just keep their heads down, and don't say much. They avoid political confrontations whenever possible, but as you suggested, only after making the grade on the "casting couch" does an actor get the big roles.

Kelsey Grammer is the most prominent currently, although I think he might be more libertarian. Also, there’s Patricia Heaton, although she’s more of a single-issue person.

Heston was active until about 5 years ago. He attended CPAC quite a few times.

I got to meet him in an elevator once.

The doors of the elevator open and there he was standing there tall and tan.

There are probably at least a couple of dozen conservatives in the biz but they are kept in the closet by hollywood’s opressive You-Must-Be-A-Flaming-Liberal policy. But of course liberals are tolerant of everyone’s views (making that swirling motion around my ear with index finger and saying coo-coo, coo-coo!).

Kurt Russell is also among the rational as far as I know. I beleive he and David Horowitz (sp?) founded a group called the Center for the study of Popular Culture, or some such.
