I'm always kind of turned off by actors who speak out on politics - probably because they're almost always totally opposed to my own views. This put Matt Damon, George Clooney, Sean Penn, Naomi Watts on a list of people it was hard to admire. Damon, though, has lately impressed me with his consistency. He's been grounding the movies he's in sort of the way Tom Hanks used to (though he's not the actor Hanks is). And frankly, The Bourne Trilogy made Damon a household name but they aren't anywhere near his best performances. Bourne is a very physical role that in my opinion is not terribly interesting exactly because of the fact that neither we nor the protagonist know who he really is.
