Why do liberal-minded actors, such as Charlie Sheen, Johnny Dep and Danny Glover always seem to choose roles in which their characters depict behaviors they seemingly detest?

I would say there are two reasons.
(1) Money - Money - Money
(2) Experience - I can honestly say I like an actor that steps out of his comfort zone and plays a part that challenges his ability.
Now, if I was an actor that was very outspoken in regards to a certain topic, I dont think I would play a part that supports what I speak out against. But just because someone doesnt believe in domestic violence (for example), I wouldnt fault them for playing the part of a character who beats their wife. Depends on the sitution and the context, I guess....
