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.

Good luck getting hired after a Jan 6th conviction.

Kevin Sorbo is looking to put a team together.

[–] [email protected] 98 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know what the difference is between Kevin Sorbo and a fishing lure?

A fishing lure gets cast.

Looked up his imdb, he seems to be getting a lot of roles recently

https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0001757/

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 month ago (8 children)

You might see who's making all those movies. Because it's not Hollywood, other than the Reagan film, which he had a small part in and which also was a box-office bomb.

He makes right-wing Christian movies because those are the only roles he gets.

When he was Hercules, he was one of the biggest stars on TV.

But hey, he has an 8-episode sitcom on Twitter which I'm sure is hilarious and also a big success, like all TV shows on Twitter. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12825094/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cred_c_2

I don't really watch Christian movies.

The last thing I saw him in was that home alone, but with a dog instead of a kid. "Alone for Christmas". I can't really recommend that, either.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, nobody does. That's why citing them as Sorbo "getting a lot of roles" is a fucking joke.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

You're not making Christianity better, you're just making movies worse!

You aren’t wrong but be aware those are largely low value christian/conservative media roles

Oh god, I always giggle like a child when I see this shit 😅

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I mean, I kinda do, but that that's a separate issue from Trump.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago (3 children)

According to my Facebook feed, every shitty right-wing actor you can think of is being offered $1B to start their own anti-woke streaming network.

God, I need to just add that site to my AdGuard list.

Many of whom are failed or has been actors.

On the upside Trev can take over.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I'd watch that arc.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago

well it seems like they got the right guy for Jimmy Pesto role

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago

Fuck you Jimmy Pesto

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm so glad they brought back Jimmy Pesto but recast the actor. That was a sure sign that they were done with Johnstone.

Really wanted an internal nod where he goes to jail for terrorism and his wife takes over and blames Bob, keeping the feud alive

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I think Eric Bauza voices him just as well if not better. And he's a way cooler guy in addition to not being a terrorist.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I agree! They could've done it the quiet way and just stopped using Pesto, but they said loud and proud, "We don't support this."

After the real heavy, emotional storylines of the newest season, I'm not surprised. Those burgerpeople seem on the up-and-up for sure.

I had to Google to check my decription for this acronym. Turns out it is Fuck Around and Find Out, which makes sense. But I also like my initial guess in this context, which was Fascist Asshole, Fuck Off.

...Jay Johnston, known for his roles on Bob's Burgers and in the January 6th insurrection...

These words should be in every news article about him ever now.

1 year is too light of a sentence.

We have a habit of letting traitors off light in the US.

I almost wish I watched the show so that I could see the in-universe reference / explanation.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There isn't one, they just got a new voice actor.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Pretty sure Seth McFarlane has had in universe conversations about the departure of other VAs, such as Joe's Wife Bonnie and of course the legendary Mayor Adam West, so it's a little sad they don't even make a bit out of it.

"Oh that guy? That was my identical cousin, yeah he's in prison for trying to overthrow democracy or whatever."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Bob's Burgers doesn't really do MacFarlane-style "LOL we're a cartoon" meta stuff.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Solar Opposites did it very well when they jettisoned Justin Roiland. His character gets hit in the throat with a dart and then zapped with an uncalibrated voice repair ray. His partner thinks the new (and suddenly English-accented) voice is sexy so they don't bother changing it.

Also, new Korvo is way better the than slightly-altered Rick that Roiland was crapping out.

i was watching the sarah silverman program recently and the amount of shit she gives his character is almost cathartic now. it seemed sharp and silly on first airing, but now its just warranted.

Oooof. Tough day for him.
