I commend him for his principles, even if it meant his job, but I don’t understand why he would want to be a part of those shows in the first place.
I believe that actors, by their nature, want to play many roles, even the “heavy” who is the bad guy, because they KNOW it is not REAL violence that is going on. Now when it comes to playing because they are “playing” somebody else. When it comes to physically touching, feeling, stroking and even simulated sex, it is just a step too far for him to personally take.
