I will listen to a neighbor who is a civil engineer, a city planner or an engineer when they speak on their own subject of expertise. But an actor? That is the ONLY profession where the practitioner earns a hefty fee for delivering word and ideas written for them by somebody else. Susan Sarandon and Mel Gibson as political advisors?
