Even if someone has done good acting work recently, so what?
If someone makes a good steak, or runs a mile really quickly, or drew a pretty picture, it does not follow that they now have a reason to tell me their political opinions. Same with if they pretend to be a space wizard really well. Or a psychopathic clown. None of these things suggest their political opinions are any more informed than anyone else.
In fact, if there's anything most actors are really good at, it's being handed some fictional lines on a card and convincingly delivering them. So I guess that's on brand.
