I think of actors like I think of businesses--they are all better off making the world think that they are apolitical. You want people who vote for Rs and Ds to go see your movie, and buy your McDonald's hamburgers, and if you are outspoken, as Batfan says, you're just gonna piss a bunch of people off.
But back on topic, the statue they show up above has the same issue as the Inart figure, in my view. These are extremely talented artists doing their best, but that smirk is so damn hard to get right. I get the motivation. It's what makes Reeve distinctive and iconic in many ways. But if you can't get it 100% right, like Trevor Grove-level perfection, then best just not to go there. I don't think I've ever seen a statue or figure that nailed it.
