    Despite being politically progressive, he was a Republican delegate to the 1984 convention. He was the only man not to vote for Reagan. The purpose of his abstention was to bring attention to the possibilities of world peace and a nuclear freeze. His good friend Terry Jones of Monty Python has his delegate badge. Jones says he keeps the pass in a prominent place in his office to inspire him to live a courageous life.
