boycott

These 'Hollywood elite TV' people think they own our lives & our choices. Choice was made, so live with the outcome. I hope all you RICH 'actors' get boycotted.

What I should have added is that having use of a public platform as in TV, stage, etc is not right in my opinion. Just like all the riots, if during the presidential rallies, if no publicity then maybe rioting would have stopped and no injuries. When televised, it spreads like wildfire. Police shootings, school shootings, on & on, all gives them their "5 minutes of fame" to millions of TV viewers. The average person does not have the same platform that millions can see or hear. JMO

You're going to boycott him quitting his job? Yeh...that makes sense.

The guy still makes money off of movies he's been in. It's not like a movie comes out and then that's it.

Really?

Usually you get paid to make the film and that is it unless you are on a percentage of the box office.

It's that man again!!

If you choose to boycott everyone you disagree with you'll have quite limited entertainment.
I lean a bit left of center but still think Clint Eastwood is a legend and Jon Voight is the reason I watch Ray Donovan.
I think Scientology is a croc but will watch anything with Giovanni Ribisi in it.
My opinion anyway.

What Michael is doing is called free speech. Some will support him and some will not. Yes, a choice was made but that's the great thing about a free society, we get to make more choices in the future. And some people have already started working on those future choices. Just like the tea party did right after President Obama was elected. The tea party had no intentions of giving President Obama a chance and did everything in their power to make sure he was not reelected. They also made sure to vote in the midterm elections for anyone who opposed President Obama. Now people are planning to do the same to Trump.

It's going to be interesting to see what will happen. ;-)
