Personal context

Summary

In a 1998 interview, he called himself a Republican and said he did not vote for Bill Clinton; in a 2023 interview, he praised the female director’s voice and the women’s-empowerment premise of Hunt Club. No public statements on identity politics, DEI, or activism, or advocacy affiliations on those topics, are on record.
