George Clooney...
-The American (2010) (he's not playing his more usual suave self in this but is playing a more paranoid/low key type of character. this is more subtle to instead of the more obvious roles from the Coen's with 'O Brother Were Art Thou' etc)
I might be able to list some more but that's what comes to mind off the top of my head.

James Cagney: Yankee Doodle Dandy. Interestingly enough, Cagney started out his career as a dancer and a comedian and was mildly liberal. Nothing will ever beat this scene from The Roaring Twenties, but his hoofer roles were closer to the real Cagney |

Jimmy Stewart— Vertigo, Rope, After the Thin Man Humphrey Bogart— The Return of Dr. X (and, in some ways, Angels with Dirty Faces) Bud Abbott— The Time of Their Lives Christopher Reeve— Deathtrap Cary Grant— Suspicion, NotoriousIngrid Bergman— Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydePaul Newman— Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull’s History LessonJohn Wayne— Red River, The SearchersSome of these are tough calls. With Wayne just above, for example, many of his film roles after those movies tried to tailor it more towards this characterization, but I still would argue that it breaks Wayne’s “type.” Does that make sense?  |

Will Geer in Executive Action.
The man (a great actor) was a card carrying member of the Communist Party of the USA in the 1930's and a liberal social activist (plus he played the very kind hearted grandfather in the Waltons). It's kind of strange watching him play a rich oil magnate participating in overseeing the assassination of JFK.
Burt Lancaster in Seven Days in May
Lancaster, another famous Hollywood liberal is very convincing in his portrayal of a solid far right General (loosely based on General Edwin Walker and Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay) attempting to orchestrate a military coup of the United States.
These are both extremely great films and its fun to watch both actors play roles that were completely differentiated from their private politics.
(Ironically, Lancaster was a Black Ops member in Executive Action)...
