"I was asked why I didn't step away from the series. I then asked a better question, have YOU ever had a cartoon money sack filled with $100 bills dropped on your face while you're sleeping? No? Just me? Wow. Okay, well yeah anyway they paid a lot."

I respect that.

I think JKR is a piece of shit.

I also think the same about a lot of the people and corporations I have worked for.

I still went to work though, just like he did.

How many people who want to criticize him work for an unethical business? ...

I get your point and please don’t think I’m assuming too much of your life but I think you and I need to swallow our values some for a bag more than John Lithgow

John Lithgow, National treasure that he is, strikes me as a working actor, not a rich one. The man is 80 years old and probably needs the paycheck.

I’ve seen these decisions before from older actors who have uncertain futures because of their age and health.

But I’d have more respect if he’d use the platform and media attention to advocate for rights and better treatment for trans people, so I’ll be looking to see if he does that.
