... I've always considered that the domain of unthinking conservatives... and
unworthy of liberals.

I agree with others above about people like Adam Sandler and Steven Segal...
but because they're one-dimensional one-trick ponies who can't actually act
(though Sandler's songs are funny).

No offense... but not watching an actor's character in a production because
of the actor's beliefs kinda seems to ME a mirror image of those poor folks
who actually attack actors in real life because of the hateful nature of their
soap opera characters.
.
And the reason of "not contributing to their success/income" by watching their
films is an ineffectual and symbolic gesture that actually punishes the boycotter
rather than the boycottee by the self-censorship of some work that actually has
some value outside of the political arena.

And James Belushi -- his "According to Jim" TV series was pretty funny and he
was Oscar-worthy as supporting actor to James Woods in the movie "Salvador" --
one I HIGHLY recommend to anyone.
