How about Charlton Heston. Granted, he is in the old generation of movie actors, but he was an actor nonetheless. I think you can find people in all professions that have differing opinions. I am sure there are plenty of attorneys for and against guns, and whatever else, but most people do not select an attorney, doctor, dentist, or what have you because of their view on the NRA or other things. Granted, it was pretty cool when my fiance told me that her dentist in Winchester, VA had DU stuff all over the waiting room. She said she had been going to him for about a year before she met me and had no idea what all that stuff was, but after dating me for a couple of months and then going to the dentist, she was able to recognize the DU symbol in his office, the DU magazine on the rack, and the duck art on the wall.

The problem with Hollywood is that they use their stage and their profession to try and influence American's opinion and it doesn't take much to persuade some Americans. An attorney that I clerked for before I got out of law school wanted to send a postcard to all his clients just prior to the Maryland Governor election telling them to vote for the Democratic candidate. I told him that if he did that, I would no longer work for him, so he didn't. Everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion and I hate when people in positions of trust try to force their opinion on others regarding politics.
