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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 100 points 2 weeks ago

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

A fishing lure gets cast.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

A lot of that list had me wondering if IMDB sometimes showed ratings out of 5

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Does it look like the sort of thing you'd want to watch, though?

DISAPPOINTED!!!

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Holy shit, Vince McMahon is rumored to be starting a media company. Could it be related?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I must not be shitty or right wing enough I have two credits to my name (one is as a forearm so you know I made it big) cause this is the first one heard. I could use a billion bucks

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe he can reboot Andromeda, but with even more fascism

[-] WolvenSpectre@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, they rebooting One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, might be able to get a cabinet position depending on how the election goes.

[-] StaticFalconar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

He aint exactly in an industry that cares about doing background checks if you understand.........

[-] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe he'll go to the Daily Wire

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 97 points 2 weeks ago

We all knew Jimmy Pesto was a POS.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Baby Numnum

Yes, they are one in the same.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 48 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] SnotFlickerman 28 points 2 weeks ago

...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.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago
[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] null@slrpnk.net 17 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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."

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[-] prole 2 points 2 weeks ago

Dan Stevens, I believe. Killed it in Legion

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 16 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 weeks ago
[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Oooof. Tough day for him.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Huh, a real method actor ... ?

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago
[-] TheRedOx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The Story of The Story of Everest... probably the funniest thing I've ever seen!

[-] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I can imagine there would have been an interesting dynamic between this piece of shit and fellow Bob's Burgers voice actor Sam Seder...

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

Happy Birthday Bob!

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

For an attack on the beating heart of America that puts what Osama Bin Laden did to shame in terms of threatening the country itself?

At a certain point America deserves the next one.
