Fair enough, but Fred Thompson was a lawyer before he was an actor, so he doesn't necessarily count. As to Grandy, I think he went to Harvard or someplace similar, right? To be honest, if I was alive when Reagan grew to power within the party in the 60s and 70s, or when Grandy was campaigning for Congress, I probably would have had the same issues.

My main point is that it annoys me when members of Hollywood try to become part of the debate (whether Democrat, Republican, or otherwise). It's part of their right as citizens to speak their mind, but it still bugs the heck out of me.

Plus there's the simple issue of all of the dudes noted save Reagan pretty much sucking.

Yeah, there's that too.
