James Caan Refuses to be the Typical 'Hollywood Liberal'
FoxNews ^ | Aug. 11, 2010 | Hollie McKay

Posted on 08/12/2010 6:38:53 AM PDT by woodbutcher1963

Veteran actor James Caan let people in on a little secret last week. After 46 successful years among Hollywood’s most outspoken liberal stars, he’s speaking up about breaking the mold.

“I'm an ultra conservative,” he said at Moet & Chandon’s 6th Annual Hollyshorts Film Festival Opening Night Celebration in Los Angeles.

“I'm not a G** damn Hollywood liberal, I'm not,” he said, adding he only watches Fox News.

Caan, who was at the event promoting his involvement with the online platform Openfilm.com, also added that he doesn’t think Hollywood actors need to comment on every single political issue. When Pop Tarts questioned him on California courts deeming Proposition 8, which bans same sex marriage, “unconstitutional,” he preferred to keep his lips sealed.

"I don't want to comment on that. I'll let those other geniuses do that – all those actors who like to find a stage to push their agendas,” he said. “They don't have political science degrees... I certainly don't. I'll leave it to Sean Penn or Barbara Streisand to comment on that."

Danny Aiello is a conservative (bit part in Godfather II - he’s one of the Rosato brothers who try to whack Franky Pentageli (sp?))

“How about DeNiro?”

DeNiro is NOT a conservative based on what I have read/heard. Not sure about Pacino and Vigoda

Is this the same James Caan who turned down a role in Apocolypse Now for Freebie and the Bean?

Couldn’t remember his first name for the life of me...and that’s funny seeing I first saw El Dorado on the big screen in 1967 (68?) and bought the vhs in the 80’s.

Probably seen that one and all Duke movies a hundred times...

I’m an ultra conservative,”

Really like the “ultra” part.

Too many on the Right like to condescend about inferior “fanatics” and “extremists” on the “Far Right”.

Caan RIGHTLY is not afraid to proclaim himself as being “ultra conservative”.
