Johnston… previously pleaded guilty to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder in July 2024.

The 56-year-old actor was initially arrested in June 2023 after the FBI tweeted a photo requesting information about his identity. He is alleged to have led a group to the “front line of rioters confronting the police who were defending the entrance” to the Capitol, helping to launch an assault against a group of officers.

    Squid of all people, talking Hollywood, surely you must that know everyone with any capital is literally leaving California. I keep hearing that is is a problem with “LA people”, buts its not the homeless they are talking about.

      I surely know that you don’t have to live in California if you’re a movie star and get cast in legitimate movies anymore.

      A large number of them aren’t even shot in California anymore.

        Yeah they aren’t shot in Cali anymore and its not tax breaks. To avoid certain people studios are going to Nevada and New Mexico. Its not like they are going to NY or Georgia.

          First of all, production companies are literally shooting in Georgia all the time. I have a friend who works in production in Atlanta.

          Secondly, if they wanted Kevin Sorbo in movies, he could live wherever he wanted. He didn’t abandon Hollywood, Hollywood abandoned him. Because he’s a lunatic with an ego the size of Mount Olympus.

      “Hollywood” in this context refers to the American film industry, not necessarily the location. Major studios, national distribution, etc.

        So you responded to say what exactly? That Sorbos is getting roles or? I am confused because clearly I was not mistaken on where films are shot considering the post I replied to clearly says Sorbos is doing films not shot in Hollywood, or are you one the “LA people” seeking to instigate?
