Lives in the UK and gets involved in UK politics, so qualifies imo.
Left wing is as left wing does -- sent his kids to private/public schools.

There's no future in England's dreaming
Not an actor but Chris Hughton, former Spurs player and Newcastle and Brighton manager wrote a column for Newsline (WRP newspaper) in the 70s. Currently a member of the Labour party.
I saw an interview with this geezer the other day. Again not exactly complementary about the government's approach. Don't know what his politics are in general but I suspect not exactly a tory.

Well you had the Redgraves, Frances de la Tour, Matthew Kelly, all in Equity so had access to other actors. They also had some strength in the trades union movement with the All Trades Union Alliance. As such had roots in the unions, a Daily Newspaper as well that was available in the shops

Exasperated, not angry.
not sure about that bit. It didn't come along until after they were on the decline, and was pulling people away from the mainstream union movement.

That's all well and good but once actor X becomes a powerful multi millionaire saying I wrote an essay once as a student doesn't really cut it for me. To quote Eddie Murphy: What have. You done. For me. Lately.
