I didn’t realize this guy was a republican.
He voted Obama in 2008. In 2012, who he voted for I don’t know.
I'm not sure what affiliation Richard Dreyfuss claims, but it's pretty clear that he has stood apart from the usual far-left Hollywood crowd for some time. Back in 2002, when Charlton Heston revealed that he was suffering from Alzheimer's, much of Hollywood celebrated in the usual foul-mouthed, vulgar manner.
Dreyfuss did not - instead, he wrote a glowing tribute to Heston and had it published.
