        Very good example.  He initially garnered fame as a
bodybuilder, then later as an actor.  In addition, part of his fame
comes from being a conservative in a family famous for being liberal
democrats.  Now he's famous for getting the governorship of California
after a political circus of a recall election.
        So if I were to see him talking politics on "The Tonight
Show", I'd feel he has more right to do so than someone that's only
famous for being an entertainer, even though he received his fame
initially as a performer.
