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.

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

      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.

          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.
