Are you sure? I've heard Dreyfuss talk politics and he is as liberal as the rest. However, I have not heard him post 9/11.
startribune.com about Election 2000:
Just when you thought it was safe to swim the political waters, Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss warned California Democrats on Wednesday that Republicans can't be trusted.
The "Jaws" star listed Social Security, education, abortion and health care as issues too important to trust to the GOP ticket.
"George Bush doesn't get them and Dick Cheney doesn't like them," said Dreyfuss, known for his roles in "American Graffiti" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and star of the soon-to-be released movie "The Crew."
He urged cheering Democratic National Convention delegates to "go get 'em" by keeping control of the White House and picking up seven seats to regain control of the House.
"The Republicans in the House of Representatives are the only obstacles, the only stop signs that are keeping America from its own future," Dreyfuss said at the California delegation's breakfast at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.
And LA Times Celebrity Politics:
By the time Al Gore took the podium at the Democratic National Convention, actor Richard Dreyfuss had already met with the vice president. In fact, the star of "Mr. Holland's Opus" had scored even more impressive coups.
There was his two-hour tete-a-tete with President Clinton and his lunch with key Middle East peace negotiators. He had traveled to Israel three times and met with then-Prime Minister Shimon Peres. No one is expecting Dreyfuss to help restore Middle East peace.
But talk about access. Behind these forays onto the grand playing field of world events is West Hollywood power politico Donna Bojarsky, Dreyfuss's personal political consultant. A former aide to Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley and a campaigner for Clinton and Gary Hart, Bojarsky is a pioneer member of a new breed of power-channelers who are becoming indispensable to the maturing new class of monied Hollywood elite. . .
(blah blah blah it goes on and on)
