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)...
