Tim Robbins: 'Being Opinionated Pays'Being an outspoken political campaigner has helped Tim Robbins' career, not harmed it, the actor insists.Critics claim the Shawshank Redemption star has been shunned by studios because of his strong anti-war and anti-GEORGE W. BUSH views - but Robbins insists his stance has 'opened doors' in Hollywood.He says, "I really don't think that expressing my opinions has harmed my career. Although many people would like you to think that. And you can be sure that I'd have never got to work with someone like ROBERT ALTMAN if I hadn't expressed my opinions. But it's true that apart from two weeks on War Of The Worlds I haven't worked on a studio film for a long time."
