I think it's fine that people express their political opinions. However, I have to wonder why actors, who are people paid to pretend to be other people, think that their opinions are more valuable and newsworthy than anyone else's. From what I've seen, few of them have any education beyond high school and even fewer spend any free time reading or learning anything about the world.

It's 'hip', though--the old 'counterculture', limousine-liberal stereotype that they think they have to live up to. Originality in Hollywood doesn't exist.

Because they are surrounded by paid yes-men who tell them they are brilliant.
