If an actor thinks that simply because he or she is a movie star I should listen to their opinion about politics, environmental, religious or moral issues, I reserve the right to not buy tickets to their movies.


Unless the role concerns those things, that's not the same as going to a concert and having the performer preach to you between songs, like Ted Nugent or Jackson Browne. I can understand being turned off by the latter, but jeez, rejecting art just because you don't like what the artist does outside of that art is unfortunate. (Child molesting pet abusers would be an exception though. Michael Vick for example can FOAD.)

My personal belief is that actors are baited by the media 90 percent of the time to speak on sensitive topics.
I can't imagine almost anyone responding with "I'm sorry that's personal" when asked about a political topic, including myself......
I also don't think that most actors care what someone else thinks about their views, they just have more opportunities than most.

That being said, my answer is Mel Gibson......
