Hollywood Visionary: Jon Voight Honored By Republican Jewish Coalition
BEVERLY HILLS — Oscar-award winning actor Jon Voight was the guest of honor on Sunday evening at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Summer Gala, where he was given the unprecedented honor of the “Hollywood Visionary Award.”
Voight’s humility was on full display on the red carpet at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. “Many of my heroes are here [tonight],” he told Breitbart News in an interview.
In fact, it is Voight who has long been looked up to as a hero by many of his colleagues in Hollywood. Among them is actor Steven Bauer, known for his roles in the film Scarfaceand the Showtime series Ray Donovan. “He’s just such an inspiration. He’s always been to me,” Bauer told Breitbart News at the gala.
Actors Raquel Welch, Sam Sorbo, Angie Harmon, and Nick Searcy were also among those invited.
Voight has been a beacon of conservative politics in Hollywood’s thickly liberal atmosphere, where conservatives are often ostracized and punished by being blacklisted, or deprived of work, for their political views.
