James Brolin on gay marriage...

James Brolin arrived solo to Monday night's premiere of "Wedding Wars" at the Arclight, much to the disappointment of a lot of red carpet press who were hoping for a flashbulb frenzy with his wife Barbra Streisand on his arm. But she no doubt wanted her hubby to have his night and is probably still tired from her recent concert tour!

Got in a few questions to Brolin before someone dragged him away to pose for pics with John Stamos in front of one of the movie's posters. Sheesh! But during our brief time together, the man who rose to fame as hunky Dr. Kiley on "Marcus Welby M.D.," was quite friendly and thoughtful and, well, still very handsome. Brolin's character in the movie is a likeable governor or Maine but publicly opposes gay marriage when it becomes a campaign issue.

"He actually is (in favor) but he won't say so because he won't get elected again. It really represents a situation that's pretty common nowadays," the actor told me. "A lot of our politicians make decisions based on how much lobbying money is available to them, they make decisions based on whether they're elected next time or not.

Brolin believes it is "absolutely" a matter of time before gay marriage becomes legal in the U.S.
"With the polling and the future of voting, for or against it, all the young people in America who haven't voted yet who are going to vote next are all for it."
