“Olivia Colman among Left-wing film stars boycotting Israeli cinema”

Incredible courage. Kind of like the 27,382nd actor in Hollywood coming out gay.

Per IMDB, Colman has three upcoming projects.

Thank you, Ms. Colman, for allowing me to update my won’t see tv list!

Never heard of her.

I guess that’s the point of the boycott.

If you have no talent, protest Jews not dying. Leftists will applaud your efforts.

No one gives an Obama. Pretty much everyone has deserted H-wood, and no sane individual cares what an airhead says without a script.

That sucks. I liked her acting and roles very much. No makeup, no glamor nonsense. She is very authentic. Apparently too much so, now.

LOL! Boycotts can work both ways and I can certainly live very well without these two freaks.

Well if there are people I really concern myself with their political positions it is an actor. I don’t think anything until I hear what this clown thinks. Dance clown, dance.

That’s too bad. She’s a decent actress, but her political leanings suck.
