Don't they know enough famous people yet? They have to hang out and be seen with famous dictators who hate America? It's especially ironic since it's America that has made these ingrates rich (and famous enough to get an audience with a foreign dictator) in the first place.I used to think all three of these actors were fairly intelligent, but they are playing right into his hands. Chavez knows that if he can get celebrities on his side, a lot of celebrity-worshipping sheep will follow blindly behind. "Well, if he's good enough for Kevin and Sean and Danny, he's good enough for me." These actors are being used, but their egos are too big to see it.These are the same people who would hang out with Hitler or Kruschev if they were still alive. Do they identify with those men in their hatred of America? Or are they just so addicted to fame, that they have lost all remnants of discretion?It disappoints me because I'm a movie buff, and all three of these men have done some great work. But now, in keeping with MY principles, I can no longer support them financially. Unfortunately, that also punishes all the hard-working patriotic actors who share a film with them.
