Actors' can't exactly be scapegoated for the failings of a political party, they also don't participate in active proceedings of legislature or politics, save for when they go to the voting booth every 2 years.
Just about anyone can bring attention to an issue, they don't need to be famous or be an actor to do so. Cindy sheehan and Jim Gilchrist are just a couple of examples.
Robbo- While you're correct that whoever holds the interest of more people will be more famous, yet I cannot recall the last time an actor or celebrity had a face-to-face talk or discussion of national policy with a foreign diplomat.
Aside from influence among their fans who wish to emulate every atom in their idols' body, actors and celebrities have no political value whatsoever.
