President Donald Trump said Tuesday he'll appoint Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight to the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for the remainder of a six-year-term to end in September of 2024.
The actor known for TV roles in hit shows like Ray Donovan and 24 — and for his real-life role as Angelina Jolie's father — is one of the most outspoken conservatives in Hollywood and he hasn't shied from his support of Trump.
A former liberal who said he was traumatized by the assassination of President Kennedy, Voight was a critic of President Barack Obama and was a staple at events hosted by Friends of Abe before the private group of 2,500 conservatives who work in Hollywood largely disbanded a few years ago.
Voight won an Oscar playing opposite Jane Fonda in the 1978 anti-Vietnam War movie, Coming Home.
Trump also said Tuesday he'll nominate former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose daughter is White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, as a trustee to the same board.
Others he will nominate are Carl Lindner III of Ohio, Marc Stern and Kelly Roberts of California, Kelcy Warren and Heather Washburne of Texas, Adrienne Arsht of the District of Columbia and Karen Tucker LeFrak and Daryl Roth of New York.
The Kennedy Center, opened in 1971, is the country's National Cultural Center and it is located adjacent to the Watergate complex on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.

Great interview with Levin a couple months back.
I’ll bet that he won’t drive a LeBaron to the White House.
Bravo! He is courageous in being one of the few vocal conservatives in Hollywood.

Oh, please give a slot to James Woods, too! Make them liberal heads explode!

A friend of mine who is now in his late 80’s had bought a used Studebaker Lark sedan back in the early 60’s that had belonged to Jon Voight’s father. It was in storage at White Plains Studebaker.
I have a set of Rosary beads he had found in the glove box of the car along with paperwork with his dad’s name on it. My friend gave the Rosary to me when he moved out of state. Wish there was a way of getting them back to him.
ROFLMAO!!!
I know Larry David is left of left of left but sometimes you gotta let go of politics and let yourself enjoy something :)
Funny series!
Eating at the rooftop restaurant at the Kennedy Center and walking around the center’s roof terrace is one of the best tourist attractions in DC but few people know they can visit it for free anytime.
He’s really good in Ray Donovan. I don’t remember him in 24. Probably just forgetting because I think I saw most, if not all, of the episodes.
