The celebrities, mostly actors and actresses, revealed their plans to take actions for the change of the United States motivated by Obama's presidential campaign in short video clips directed by actresses Demi Moore.

The videos convey personal, touching and humorous ways in which the entertainment industry plans to give back.

"We are honored to be working with MySpace to rally the entertainment industry to answer President-elect Barack Obama's call to service," said Ashton Kutcher, Moore's husband.
