Ronald Reagan is a prominent example. He was originally a Democrat, and long served as the head of the Screen Actors Guild. He and his wife, however, testified against other Hollywood people in closed hearings of HUAC, and so was considered a traitor when that became generally known.

Thanks very much. It is amazing all the subjects that wikipedia.org covers. Also, I believe that most of the people there are unpaid and receive no public recognition.
