"Much higher" regard? Probably not. "Higher" regard? Maybe.

Just to play devils advocate (because you all KNOW how much I love to do that), imagine the celebrity that best showcases the opposite side of the political spectrum from you, whether it's Alec Baldwin, Charleton Heston or Yahoo Serious, making a statement that you agree with on the theory. How would you react.

Actors and musicians have no more or less inside knowledge of these things. I look at this just like any other celebrity endorsement - immaterial.
