Well I think he should have left, many of us may feel the same way at one time or another but jumping ship is cowardly. Many in Hollywood feel their political beliefs should have more weight than anyone else because they are actors. They become bitter and nasty and I am sick of listening to them. Political discourse is encouraged in a free and open democracy. I applauded it. But they must be aware that if someone disagrees with their viewpoint they made be boycotted. That’s seems to be a price they are willing to pay. I still think Jane Fonda is a traitor for meeting with our enemies during Vietnam while many of Americas finest were dying in South East Asia. I will never watch anything she is in and although she is trying to return to her acting career I am not ready for her. Just my 2 cents Alec Baldwin stated he was going to leave our great country if an election had not gone his way.

I've been yelled at by my parents. I've said something nasty things to my parents. It happens in private, it happens between us, and we are both sorry pretty damn soon. You say stupid things when you are angry. As for political views - politics and art rarely mix. Which means while I may think Actor X or Singer Y's political viewpoints are stupid, if their art is good - well, their art is good. I personally found the boycott to be childish (more because of the ensuing death threats and accusations of being unpatriotic for voicing an opinion).
