I read somewhere that in Hollywood, the first thing publicists tell their famous clients is that they have to attach themselves to a cause. Climate change, animal rights, gun control, abortion, homosexual rights, transgender rights, homelessness, handicapped children, etc.
That’s why so many of them are labeled “activists” in addition to “actor”. Some are genuine in their beliefs. Most are not.
"As actors, it is our responsibility to read the newspapers, and then say what we read on television like it's our own opinion."
