Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Ferguson was active on Broadway for several years prior to taking on the role of Mitchell Pritchett on “Modern Family,” the role most people will recognize him from. The actor, who is married to Justin Mikita, a lawyer, plays an openly gay lawyer on the sitcom. He’s been a strong advocate for gay marriage and founded the non-profit advocacy group “Tie the Knot.” The ACLU also named him their celebrity ambassador for the LGBT community in October of 2013.
Danny Aiello
Aiello is a Hollywood legend who got one of his first movie roles in The Godfather: Part II. He would go on to star in movies like Moonstruck, Léon: The Professional, and Do the Right Thing. Aiello, who grew up in a family of Democrats, has been a Republican for a long time, and supported Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio during the Republican primaries in 2015. “I’m a Republican, as you know, I’m a conservative, and I’m just hoping for the best possible outcome. There’s a lot that I like there. I like Cruz, I like Rubio,” Aiello said in an interview.
Jessica Chastain
One of “Time” magazine’s most influential people in the world in 2012, Chastain has certainly made an impact with her work. She’s continually been active in promoting feminist themes in her movies and has founded her own production company, Freckle Films, in order to increase diversity in the industry. Unsurprisingly, she has been a major player in the Time’s Up initiative. Chastain also has repeatedly criticized President Trump. After a tweet in which he said that half of Americans don’t pay taxes, she replied, “Ive always paid taxes. I dont call it ‘smart’ to avoid it. Its greedy.”
