Postive Actors I Can Admire

so say we all (peanuts)
I've said it before and I'm sure to say it again -- generally I do not like actors. They tend to be self-serving in ways that call attention to themselves that should shame anyone. Everytime I read about an actor who tells fans details of their personal life that should be kept under lock and key, or says the most skeevy things, I want to smack heads. [Don't get me started on the fans who encourage this behaviour and/or are worse. That's a whole other ball of crap.]

Anyway. I understand that actors need to walk around with giant arrows pointing at them going, "LOOK AT ME! SEE? I WILL BRING YOUR movie/tv show/reality series/magazine article/brothel/etc
PILES OF MONEY" because that's what gets them noticed, and then cast. But I don't have to like it.

Every once in a while, however, an actor will do things that make me step back and go, "OK, you're using your Evil Acting Power for GOOD!"

In that vein -- Edward James Olmos may have a share of my soul. Mary McDonnell and Whoopi Goldberg can also have a slice.

Because, DAMN, people! Chanting, "So Say We All" WITH people at the U.N.?!
