Nobody casts an actor with the intent of passing on the project later because they don’t like the actor’s beliefs.

You don't know much about Hollywood.

A few years ago there was an interviewer, ala James O'Keefe, that had producers and others openly admitting, on film, to blacklisting actors. It was posted on FR but it wasn't news as we all know it happens. Just ask Drew Carey.

“You don’t know much about Hollywood.”

I’m a professional TV writer.

The interviewer you’re talking about is Ben Shapiro, and he met with some marginal players who aren’t deciders in the entertainment industry. If those guys ever did attain a position of power, they’d be out of business tout suite, because bigotry costs money.

A bigot wouldn’t hire Christian conservative Jim Caveizel to be a network TV lead, and that bigot would be out all the money “Person of Interest” is making for CBS.

If Kevin Sorbo projects made money, Kevin Sorbo would have his pick of roles. Successful producers will hire anyone who makes them money. All else is sound and fury.

HOW has Drew Carey been blacklisted, and for what? He was the LEAD ACTOR on a successful network sitcom for YEARS.
