Thanks for the info. I agree that he is a great actor. I could care less 9 times out of 10 what an actor/actress thinks. Sometimes (Jane Fonda and Sean Penn come to mind) I can't help being distracted. Other times (Jack Nichelson) the performer is just too damn good for me to care about their politics.
The same thing happened to me a little while ago when the Dixie Chicks ripped into Toby Keith for his lyrics in the "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue." As soon as one of their videos come on I go out of my way to flip the channel.
