Samuel L. Jackson
Jackson has never been one to shy away from politics. He was active in the civil rights movement of the ‘60s, even holding members of the Morehouse College board of trustees hostage to demand changes to the school’s curriculum. More recently, he has been a strong supporter of Democrat politicians, giving a great deal of money to President Obama and the Democratic National Convention. He’s also provided his own face and name to the campaigns, appearing in a 2012 video for Obama titled “Wake the F— Up,” where he said that voting for Republicans would be a bad idea for a wide variety of groups.
Sylvester Stallone
Stallone supported John McCain in 2008. The action star said he “loves Donald Trump” because “he’s a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I don’t know how that translates to running the world.” Trump wanted Stallone to be the chairman of the National Endowment of the Arts, but he turned it down, saying “I believe I could be more effective by bringing national attention to returning military personnel in an effort to find gainful employment, suitable housing and financial assistance these heroes respectfully deserve.”
Amy Poehler
The former “Saturday Night Live” cast member is probably best known for her portrayal of Leslie Knope in “Parks and Recreation,” for which she won a Golden Globe in 2014. Knope was a dedicated civil servant with determinedly left-wing views. (Her celebrity crush was Vice President Joe Biden.) Poehler’s own views aren’t much different. She endorsed President Obama in 2012 and wrote a fundraising letter for Planned Parenthood. She also took a hard stance against the National Rifle Association’s use of a scene from “Parks and Recreation” after the Parkland shooting.
