An actor with a brain?

I shouldn't be so jaded, but apart from a few British and American actors like my friend Donegan Smith -- a graduate of William and Mary and highly literary, I know of few actors who seem to exhibit much depth of thought. My world may simply be too narrow. In any case, I have to confess I was a trifle surprised to find this Archive of articles by Chuck Norris written for WorldNetDaily, the most recent of them dealing with atheism, the impact of anti-religious media on the younger generations, and referencing writers like C.S. Lewis. An actor actually swimming against the cultural riptide?
