Actor Antonio Sabato , Jr. I was blacklisted. All my representatives left me, from agents to managers to commercial agents. I literally had to move, find a new job to survive and take care of my kids. One makeup artist, for example, says longtime clients stopped hiring her after learning she was a Republican.
Outspoken conservative actor James Woods shared how his own agent cut ties with him for purely political reasons: "It's the 4th of July and I'm feeling patriotic. I don't want to represent you anymore. I mean, I could go on a rant but you know what I'd say. So there's nothing to say. It would be a great thing to see [ President-elect Joe Biden ] — and everybody wants him to do well — say, 'That was a stupid thing, let's move on, don't keep harping on it.
