What happens to an artist who expresses a political opinion not authorized by the powers-that-be in 21st Century America? The Lie of "Inclusivity." - by Clifton Duncan
A recent phone call with an industry friend confirmed what I already knew:
I'm being blacklisted.
Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I surprised? No.
Clifton Duncan didn't fall for the hysteria around the "unknown virus of unspecified origin." As a result he was barred from working in the theater. Now that the restrictions are lifted, he is still barred from working in the theater, and probably movies as well.
It is too bad, because the little I have seen of his work, I love. He is a very talented actor.
The problem is neither my attitude, nor that I'm "difficult" (a dreaded label for any actor).
The problem is clearly my politics (or the perception of them).
The problem is that I should and should have shut up.
Click thru for his thoughts, and a little about what he is doing to counter it. It is a bit of a long read, so grab a coffee.
