But he was an actor that became politically active. What's wrong with that? Is running for office the only way you're allowed to be part of the political process?
Many celebrities do indeed just run their mouth because they can. But many do more than that. And whether you agree with their causes or not, the reality is that they work hard for it, and are in a position where their celebrity status gives them access to people and insight into what policies would contribute to their cause. So yeah, when someone like Jolie says she's waiting to hear what the candidates say about the cause she's invested herself in, if that same cause were important to me I'd pay attention to her opinion. She is an authority on the subject.
