Does anybody know any left wing actors who made good in politics, other than using their bully pulpit to flap their jaw?

I'll let you worry about that. I watch movies for entertainment and artistic value.

Back to entertainment. We have come full circle on this colloquy. You started by saying you wanted to be entertained, not brain washed. Seems to me that the best way to do that is just to accept the movie for its entertainment value. Movies are all about suspending disbelief. You just have more baggage to suspend than I do. <g>

To me, it seems actors who actually earn their stripes in politics are all conservative. Reagan, Heston, Fred Thompson, Arnold (somewhat, yeah, I know), Sonny Bono, etc.

I believe you overlooked Clint Eastwood in compiling that list (although he played a very minor political role as Mayor of Carmel, CA).
