Not many Tinseltown personalities support Donald Trump, and the small minority that does would never admit it in public. It’s damn-near career suicide if you do.
Who would actually have the balls to endorse Trump? So far, just Dennis Quaid, Jon Voight, James Woods, Jim Caviezel, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Stephen Baldwin … you get the picture. I’m obviously against any form of blacklist going around based purely on political leanings, but that’s how things are right now. Zachary Levi seems to understand the risks that come with what he has just done.
Yes, ‘Shazam’ star Levi recently came out endorsing the former president. During a Trump rally on the weekend in Michigan, the actor made a surprise appearance to endorse the former president for a second term, after his first pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dropped out of the race last month.
Levi said that Hollywood was a very "liberal town" and suggested that his support for the former president might "constitute career suicide." He expressed his support for Trump while moderating an event on Saturday with former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
The actor acknowledges that the endorsement might railroad his career. Levi said that Hollywood was a very "liberal town" and suggested that his support for the former president might "constitute career suicide,” but he’s glad to have done it regardless.
Levi will now have to settle with acting in faith-based movies, I hear there’s a casting notice for “God is Not Dead 6.” In all seriousness, Sorbo, Quaid and Caviezel have been starring in a lot of these conservative-minded films these last years. The industry can be mean like that, and endorsing Trump is a red line that should never be crossed.
Levi starred in 2023’s “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” which ended up losing Warner Bros. close to $100M. With no future ‘Shazam’ movies in the works, his DCEU future is basically over. Up next for the actor is the already completed “Not Without Hope,” directed by Joe Carnahan.
