Kurt Russell
Russell once said “I wasn’t a Republican. I was worse. I was a hardcore libertarian.” He later said: “I believe in limited constitutional government, free-market capitalist, reach for the brass ring. There’s this place where you can go do that and don’t step on anybody’s toes and still try to reach for the brass ring.” Russell chastised celebrities for bashing President Trump at the Golden Globes.
Richard Gere
This actor believes that he’s been ostracized from Hollywood for his political positions, but not because he’s a conservative. He’s donated thousands of dollars to Democrat politicians and has said that President Obama will “go down as one of our great presidents.” Instead, he believes that his activism in support of Tibetan independence worries filmmakers who want to be able to market their films in China. He’s actually been banned from entering China for his denouncements of the Chinese government. But even with these limitations, he’s managed to have an impressive career in both film and on stage, moving lately to more independent films.
Kelsey Grammer
Grammer started a conservative television network called Right Network; the tagline is “All That’s Right in the World.” Grammer endorsed George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and, most recently, Michele Bachmann. Though conservative, he supports gay marriage, saying: “I think that marriage is the providence of the church. I think it’s a religious rite. I don’t understand the civil angle on marriage at all. So am I pro-my friends who love each other getting married? Yes — gay, straight or otherwise. I don’t have an issue with it. Somebody obviously thought it would be fun to tax marriage one day, so they made it a government thing.”
