It's true about Dirk and Dwight


I was listen to youtube Dirk and Dwight. Someone make a comment about them being blackballed in Hollywood. I've never heard nothing about them. Please tell me it's not true.

I know one guy from Mash and Gary who played Radar, he is blackballed in Hollywood.

Blackballed (or perhaps more accurately blacklisted) because of their political beliefs? Ehhhh. For sure Hollywood is not a friendly place for anyone not drinking the Kool Aid, but unless there are some specific anecdotes, my guess is that it's simply a numbers game. How many actors have decades of consistent success? Fame is fleeting and the machinery chews you up and spits you out. If you're lucky, you get a break and you have your moment and then very often you struggle. It probably didn't help that they lean right (and very vocally so in Schultz's case), but...

I know Dwight was screwed over for a St. Elsewhere audition because of his politics. Who knows how many other times it kept him from a job?

But actors who commit treason in no uncertain terms, help conceal fugitive drug lords, or are sex offenders? They'll always find work.

Hollyweird, an I right?

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

Democrats preach tolerance, but are actually the least tolerant of all. Dirk remains open about his conservative views, which the intolerant left despises. Democrats believe they know what's best for everyone else and anyone who disagrees should be punished. That's why they label anyone with opposing views as "racist," "sexist," "homophobic," "Islamaphobic," etc. in order to punish the person instead of addressing the person's argument.
