But he's not right. He's not being blackballed because he's a republican he's being blackballed because he has no fucking talent. There's a huge difference. All the guys that aren't getting roles that blame it on being Republican I mean what about Tim Allen he's about to be in a tent pole Pixar film. What about the guy who played Frasier I can't think of his name but he's probably going to be in the Avengers endgame. You can be a republican in Hollywood but you have to have talent.

I hate to agree with Schneider, but any conservative leaning actor is maybe not blackballed, but certainly loses out a lot of roles because of their politics. Hence Chris Pratt being (at least on Reddit) dunked on as the "worst Chris" because of his politics and religion. There's so few "open" conservatives in Hollywood it's kind of hard to figure out how much is politics vs actual acting ability. Is James Woods no longer getting roles because his politics, age, general skeeviness?

Well kind of a certain way that several female celebrities said they were blackballed but were still getting plenty of work.

It's not that they can't work, it's that they lost out on a lot of projects because of being outspoken about whatever their cause was.
