W: The actor became an ambassador for the Against Hunger Program.

M: That’s exactly who I’m talking about. What do you think of him?

W: It’s great that some celebrities use their fame in a good way. They can provide a lot of publicity for the program. So they can ask others to give as much as they can to it.

M: I agree. He actually seems to care about helping people. He frequently talks to other people about what he’s doing.

W: You’re right. And he even puts his money where his mouth is.
