Robert Davi: Pro-life Profiler
I know that we have been focused on politics lately on CMR. Yes, this is still a Catholic blog. I say this because we have received a few complaints this past week for our uber focus on the US presidential election. Our apologies, but as Amy says this topic is sucking up all the blogxygen these days, so why fight it?
But this post is not about politics, per se so please stay with me. I say Please stay with me, because the next line might cause you to think that I am full of O-biden.
Did you see the introductory biographical video of John McCain last night?
Remember, stay with me. I bring this up because I want to talk about not the man in the video, but rather the voice in the video. Did you notice it? If so, did you recognize it? I doubt it. The voice behind the video, and actually for a number of RNC and John McCain commercials, is character actor Robert Davi. Don't recognize his name? I am sure you will recognize his face.
He has been a working Hollywood actor for thirty years. He is probably most well known for his role on NBC Profiler and as a Bond Villain in License to Kill.
What you probably don't know about Robert Davi is that he is a vocal pro-life advocate in Hollywood. In 2005 he recorded a radio spot in support of California Proposition 73, the pro-life proposition that would have required that a physician notify in writing a parent or guardian at least 48 hours before performing an abortion on a minor girl.

I liked him in Die Hard.
He also played a heavy in a recurring role in the Stargate Atlantis series.
I remember a few months or more ago a young actress, Hayden Panitierri gained fame and many accolades because she had participated in a protest of whale killings in Japan. I don’t remember the details, but I remember that she was hailed as a courageous voice for the poor whales who couldn’t act in their own defense.
At the time, I posted a comment on the story that if she was really courageous and wanted to stand in defense of the defenseless, she would be pro-life.
That story and Hollywood’s near orgasmic adulation of this girl gives real insight to their vanity and shallow natures.
Robert Davi is a true hero. Thank you for making us aware of true bravery.
