There’s an unspoken rule in Hollywood: If someone is public about the Christian faith or conservative beliefs, they won’t be able to work as much.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, actor Stephen Baldwin confirmed his career in Tinsel Town has suffered extensively because of his Christianity. He told Paul Bond, “It’s unfortunate that because I have believed in Jesus for 15 years that there are many in Hollywood who are unwilling to work with me. That’s not a guess. Casting people and producers have told me that they’ve brought up my name in a room and the response was, ‘No way, we’re not bringing that guy and his Bible over here.’”
He also talked about the Hollywood pressure to remain silent over conservative views, because of the outrageous standards set by industry liberals. Baldwin stated, “I have really smart friends who are succeeding quite well as producers, writers, and financiers, and they hold conservative views but they cannot speak their minds -- at all. There’s a large constituency in Hollywood who voted for Trump but will never admit that.”
Baldwin joked that his brother, Alec, who now makes a living on Saturday Night Live impersonating Trump, will be voting “for Trump for re-election,”because of the “amount of money Alec is going to make with this new tax cut.”
In response to Alec Baldwin’s public concerns about Trump, Stephen told the Reporter: “Don’t worry, Alec, I’m just home on the farm praying for the president’s continued success, and it seems to be working.”
