The Republican convention had Scott Baio from 鈥淗appy Days鈥� and 鈥淒uck Dynasty鈥� star Willie Robertson, but the Democrats are expected to have far more celebrities at their convention this week.
Among the Hollywood actors who spoke at DNC events Tuesday in Philadelphia were 鈥淔riends鈥� star David Schwimmer, Canadian 鈥淭he Newsroom鈥� actor Alison Pill and Dean Norris from 鈥淏reaking Bad.鈥�
鈥淚 am pregnant with a baby girl and I hope that she will be born into a world where there is a female U.S. president,鈥� Pill told CTV鈥檚 Richard Madan Tuesday.
Norris said he sees it as his 鈥渄uty鈥� to speak.
On the main stage Tuesday were actor Elizabeth Banks (鈥淧itch Perfect鈥�), 鈥淕irls鈥� creator Lena Dunham and singer Andra Day.
That followed musical performances Monday by Paul Simon, Boys II Men and Demi Lovato.
Comedian Sarah Silverman also got a spot Monday, where she attempted to unify the party, and tell the 鈥淏ernie or bust people鈥� that they were 鈥渂eing ridiculous.鈥�
Actress Susan Sarandon was less willing to put on a smile. She could be seen scowling in the audience at times and holding up a 鈥渟top TPP鈥� sign, referring to the Trans-Pacific Partnership that Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump oppose more strongly than Clinton.
On Tuesday, more than 100 celebrities signed on to a campaign called United Against Hate that vows to 鈥渦se the power of our voice and the power of our vote to defeat Donald Trump.鈥�
The signatories include Hollywood elites like Mark Ruffalo, Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington, Julianne Moore, Lena Dunham, Patricia Arquette, Bryan Cranston, Neil Patrick Harris and Neve Campbell.
Democratic Minority Leader in the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said that having the celebrity endorsements 鈥渄oes reach the popular culture in a way that no political conversation can do.鈥�
