I realize that Richards' rant was race-based, and not based on any political opinions; I say this having no knowledge whatsoever of his political leanings. I just know that I haven't seen him in anything lately. He laid low for a while after his rant (which was understandable), but has he been in anything noteworthy lately? I know that Hollywood is very sensitive to issues of this nature, and they may actually be afraid to use him in anything. Unfortunately, for Richards, his heckler was probably right: Seinfeld pretty much was all he had ever done.
What about Mel Gibson? He attacked Jews in Hollywood of all things! Granted, he was a much larger star than Richards but his lamp seems to have dimmed as well. The only mention of him I recall lately was a series of disparaging remarks on TMZ.
Patricia Heaton does a script every week that is devoid of politics, and does a mighty fine job of it.
Kelsey Grammer deliberately sought out a movie role that was nothing BUT politics.
What's your point??
