Despite a report from ‘The Washington Post,’ director’s publicist, Mavin Levy, says Spielberg will continue to “direct actors, not political figures.”

Steven Spielberg’s spokesman,Marvin Levy, has responded to a Dec. 22 Washington Post report that the Oscar-winning director may soon advise Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on a planned political PR campaign. Levy denied his client’s involvement in a press statement, saying:

“Today’s story regarding Nancy Pelosi made a reference to Steven Spielberg that requires a response. I can say as a long-time spokesman for Steven that he has made it his career to direct actors, not political figures.”
