Actors need to be able to put themselves in others’ shoes to do a good job and presenting the role they are playing. That requires setting aside one’s biases and look at the story character for the human it is and portray it as such.
Anyone open to such insights and a interpretations would have a more sympathetic view of character flaws and cultural differences of other people.
Their audience are not selective local demographic but cut across population and geography and hence their worldview is appreciative of all those differences.
Didn't stop Kevin Spacey from being A) one of the greatest living American actors and B) a pederastic sociopath IRL.

Note, however, that my point still stands: in America, if you try to find a major city on either of those maps, there's a very good chance they'll be in one of the bluer parts of the map. Frankly, there's a lot of reasons why this is, but given that people in cities tend to be more heterogeneous and better-educated and the GOP's made such an effort to alienate those demographics, it's all but inevitable.
Cities/metropolitan areas always tend to have more diversity and entertainment industry can only thrive in such places due to talent pool making it way from various backgrounds and varying consumer tastes.
Smaller areas where farming/manufacturing etc is the predominant industry will have less of population and diversity wheee entertainment industry is not sustainable.
