Actor Nick Searcy recently opened up to The Epoch Times about his experiences in Hollywood as a politically conservative figure.
Best known for his roles in the television series “Justified” and the film “The Shape of Water,” Searcy has also been working on documentaries about the events of January 6th, as well as writing his first book, “Justify This: A Career Without Compromise,” which is set to be released on May 28th.
Speaking candidly, Searcy addressed the challenges faced by conservative actors in Hollywood, and how it seems that political alignment plays a significant role in determining one’s level of success in the industry.
He cited the example of Gina Carano, who was fired from her role in “The Mandalorian” after sharing social media posts with perceived anti-Semitic undertones.
Searcy highlighted the disparity between the treatment of established actors and newcomers, noting that while those at the top of their careers can afford to voice their political opinions without fear of retribution, younger or less well-known actors often face blacklisting if they express support for conservative ideologies.
Searcy also discussed his involvement in creating documentaries about January 6th, which challenge mainstream media narratives about the event and suggest that it may have been orchestrated by government operatives.
He claimed to have footage showing people changing clothes and adopting different identities, allegedly turning the protest into a violent insurrection.
Searcy expressed frustration at the public’s unwillingness to consider alternative perspectives on the events of January 6th, noting that his own Hollywood agent refused to watch his documentary, “Capitol Punishment.
Despite the challenges he has faced as a conservative actor in Hollywood, Searcy remains determined to share his experiences and challenge prevailing narratives about political alignments in the entertainment industry.
His forthcoming book, “Justify This: A Career Without Compromise,” will no doubt provide further insights into the struggles he has encountered, as well as offering an alternative perspective on key events of recent years.
