Damn. Can beloved actors please stop doing things to ruin their likability?

Thanks.

    You do realise that an actors literal job is to pretend to be likeable

    most actors are surprisingly conservative, and only until recently they dont express thier political leanings for fear of blacklisitng from hollywood.

    frankie muniz is another, gary sinese, the late shannon dorhety., sorbo was given. Trump pratically gave them a megaphone that it was ok to be racist, bigot.

    frankie is somewhat surprising, although not really. the signs were there, hes into nascar primarly watched by republicans, and he made several statements how he dint like his costar on MIM, thier political leanings bothered him, but he felt like his politics were correct. he became more radicalized as he was looking online for republican/conservative propaganda to consume.

    sinese was a no brainer, hes obsessed with authotarian figure roles in movies/shows. and his current obsession is with veterans, only because one time after his debut in forrest gump, he thought he was one of the boys when he visited a va hospital one time.

    Okay, look, you named four people.

    That does not remotely equal "most".

    Neither you nor I nor anyone else here have anywhere near enough information for your claim there. The only thing I can definitely say is that it's an irresponsible thing to say.

    there are literlally more people than that, just the 4 on top of my head. you sound like conservative, no thanks and your opinion was not warranted. you act as if there are next to no conservatives in hollywood, and think its a conspiracy dont you?

    Okay, you seem to have forgotten the conversation that just happened. Let's go over it again. You said:

    most actors are surprisingly conservative

    and I responded:

    Neither you nor I nor anyone else here have anywhere near enough information for your claim there.

    And you said

    you act as if there are next to no conservatives in hollywood

    You DO understand that YOU were the ONLY one who made a claim, and that me saying that neither of us have enough information to make a statement about what you just said was baseless and then you doubling down by claiming that I said there are no conservatives in Hollywood just made you look ridiculous, right?

    You DO understand that, right?
