He’s a good actor and at least Michael Clayton was a good film but, politically, you’re quite right, he’s an airhead.
I wonder if these people are simply too stupid, or just plain arrogant, to realise how much their image can be compromised by their political rantings. Discovering his views has certainly turned me off him. Surrender and moral equivalence. Just what we need!
Yes, I loved "Brother, Where Art Thou". It's sad and a little incomprehensible that the actor who made that movie turns out to be a liberal airhead. I'm to understand the Charles Bronson is also very liberal, though I'd never guess it from his movie persona.
Must be the air in Hollywood.
“Discovering his views has certainly turned me off him.”
It’s been a pretty bitter experience for me too. I used to love the movies and now I barely go. There are so few actors these days that I can watch without feeling irritated or wiped out emotionally and psychologically from the feelings of resentment over their self righteous ranting.
