Libertarianism: Kurt RussellBiography, picture and quotes
"It's easy to see a libertarian streak in many of the characters movie star Kurt Russell has portrayed over the years. As anti-hero Snake Plissken in 1996's Escape from L.A., he sneers about freedom, 'In America? That died a long time ago.' As genetically engineered trooper Sgt. Todd in 1998's Soldier, he defends peaceful farmers on the planet Arcadia 234 against murderous cyborg supermen sent by a militaristic government. As real-life Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks in 2004's Miracle, he defies authority and uses unconventional coaching methods to mold a ragtag collection of American college kids into a team that beat the unbeatable Soviets."
