Jennifer Lopez
While many singers eventually become actors, whether through cameos or their own roles, J-Lo went the other way. She received a Golden Globe nomination in 1997 for her leading role in “Selena,” then continued to star in “Anaconda” and “Out of Sight.” From there, she debuted her first studio album “On the 6” and has enjoyed simultaneous success in film and in music ever since. Lopez has been consistently left-wing. She referred to former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin with a derogatory word in Spanish and actually watched the Super Bowl with President Obama in 2011. She was also outspoken against President Trump earlier this year, during the immigration controversy.
Jerry Seinfeld
Seinfeld was an immensely popular comedian even before his long-running sitcom, which he created and wrote. Currently, he’s working on a web series titled “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” which is exactly what the title says. Seinfeld picks up famous comedians in vintage cars and takes them for a cup (or several) of coffee. He’s been aggressively apolitical in most of his standup and rarely comments on politics at all. However, he does lean to the left, with donations to multiple Democrat primary candidates and has engaged in something of a feud with President Trump, although it seems to mostly have come from Trump’s end.
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.
