Are you kidding? What has one's politics got to do with their acting ability?

I think Tom Cruise is a fruitloop, but I really enjoy his movies. Conversely I think Ben Affleck has a lot of good things to say, but I have really disliked some of his movies.
If someone is really offensive (to me) then it might marginally affect my decision, if they are a star in a film - but with a few very appealing exceptions, it's more about the overall quality of the film than any particular actor.

The only person I won't watch because of politics is Hanoi Jane. I don't watch her because I don't think she deserves to breathe. And, oh yeah, she's supposedly a crummy actress to boot

I wonder what Wallace (of Wallace & Gromit) thinks of the "war on terror".

The last thing I want to know about an actor is his/her political leanings. When they take it upon themselves to tell me about their political opinions, it ticks me off.
I picked the first option.

Actors are allowed thier opinions just like everybody else, but that doesn't mean people need to contribute to their celebrity and further their stage for their political "agendas" if they don't want to.
I won't see a Jane Fonda movie. But, I don't care for a bunch of other actor's views and will see theirs. Fonda took it to another level for me, though.
And, no, of course an actor's political leanings don't have anything to do with their acting ability. But what does that have to do with the poll?

Silly partisan finger pointing, Kolo....
What actually prompted me to ask this question was my sister's refusal to see Tom Cruise movies because of his rant against psych drugs.
...but go ahead and interpret it anyway you like.....
Besides..... you could also refer to Charleton Heston, Tom Selleck, or "Ahnold"
