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."

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”.
That was a really good film.
It’s time to rent it again.
It makes me cry every time I watch it...when the old man finds his son...I can only watch it on a gloomy, cool, rainy day.
Robert DeNiro is to the far far far left of Obama, so don’t get your hopes up.
DeNiro is one of he most left-wing people alive on the planet. Trust me. His parents were painters. He was born in Greenwich Village. He never had a chance.
Wouldn’t it be weird if it turns out a large majority of the hollywood elite are secretly conservative and are all hiding their political beliefs to get work? Everybody keeping quiet so they won’t be outed because of a vocal minority?
He was good in the movie “Roller Ball” from the 1970’s. The movie in some ways was prophetic !
Thanks! It’s one of my all time faves, too!
