15. "It's no secret that the entertainment industry is overwhelmingly liberal ..."
Yup - that's what generally happens when you're in a business in which it is a part of the job to constantly walk around in someone else's shoes.

The vast majority of actors are liberals. The actors of note who are conservatives seldom play different types - often as not they only play variations on themselves.

And sure, there are plenty of people who are in Hollywood who are not actors - but it is a truism that the cameraman and the gopher, the screenwriter and the makeup artist all came to Hollywood to act. They've had the experience of being different people, looking at the world through the eyes of another. And that's a large part of what it is to be liberal.
