I tend to switch off when actors and the like start with the polemics. Regardless of whether I agree with them.

I don't find myself not watching/liking them for it as actors though. I'm happy to separate the actor from their views when they star in a movie. Otherwise I'd never watch anything with Tom Cruise or Kelsey Grammar in it.

Yup, me too. I've been seriously disappointed by the conservative 'righty-speak' of some actors, but I've never really banned myself from watching them.

(Tom Cruise is just a bit looney in real life, but I still him in his movies.)
