I know guys like him and Sorbo are genuinely quite right wing, but you do wonder how much of their recent nonsense is due to them not being relevant or having real acting careers anymore.
I mean, guys like Kelsey Grammer and Tim Allen are quite staunchly conservative too, but they aren’t embarrassing themselves on twitter all the time either.
Reason: they still get regular work and are doing well, they don’t have to resort to grifting like this for attention and a potential Fox News talk show.
Re: Kelsey Grammer. Like, everyone knew he was conservative. Which is fine. He’s entitled to his opinions. But I think the general assumption was that he was a small government/lower taxes/ libertarian Mitt Romney-style guy. Finding out he’s gone full blown MAGA/Qanon and loves Trump, though? Sad.
Totally agree with the theory that this is why David Hyde Pierce refused to come back for the Frasier reboot. I think he knew it would get toxic and didn’t want to ruin the good working relationship they had for all those years.
