Gary Sinese. He spends many hours and days every year working on behalf of service men and women.

I completely agree---I'm an Army brat (or was--my childhood) what a patriot he is

Yep, he would be my first choice too. When I read the title of this thread, he is who came to mind. I know there are many celebrities that donate and contribute to charities and foundations, but it seems like the ones that are the most quiet do the most.

Drew Barrymore.

A multi-talented performer, creative mind, fantastic businesswoman, and very hard worker, who turned her life around and got the family she's always wanted but never had.

Plus, she's never lost her natural empathy and caring for others, including animals. And she's a generous philanthropist.

Gary Sinese for me too. Can't think of many others.

Agreed FF, Drew could have been a disaster..... her mother set her on that course.. but she thankfully turned her life around. It is so wonderful to see her grown up and happy and thriving, and being a great mom. I remember watching her in E.T. and I am just so happy for her now. Great actress. but also a great human!

I also think Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wison contribute much, but keep it quiet. Obviously Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie do much, and I can only imagine how much they contribute. Matt Damon is another great guy, he is using his celebrity to bring awareness and trying to get clean water for the world (something many of us take for granted) Water.org

I am sure there are so many celebrities and athletes that contribute so much and don't get recognition because they don't want it to be about them. If I was uber rich, I would be the same way... I would want to help people because I could, not for attention. That is why some of the celebrities or pop stars that act up all the time are so annoying... they are so blessed, yet they could do so much good with their fortune instead of taking it all for granted and wasting it.

I'll go with Gary also as he has devoted much of his time and his life to this cause. Most other celebs to me are just people that talk like they know a lot more than they actually do about many things in life. Most of what they have to say when they talk about life and living it? They are from a completely different world than I have lived in most of my many years.

Many, but I am tired and will only list a few... Don Rickles US Navy WW2, Carl Reiner US Air Force WW2, Bea Arthur US Marines WW2, and Mel Brooks who defused land mines while serving in the US Army WW2.

It's a toss-up between Miley Cyrus & Justin Bieber.
