Hollywood has long been seen as a bastion of liberal thought, where stars frequently use their platforms to push progressive agendas. From red carpet speeches to social media posts, it often feels like every celebrity is marching in lockstep with the left. But what about the conservatives in Hollywood? Where are their voices?
The truth is, conservative actors exist—but many have stayed silent for years. The fear of being blacklisted, losing roles, or facing public backlash has kept them from speaking out. As the industry drifts further left, that pressure to keep quiet has only intensified.
Zachary Levi, best known for his role in Shazam!, is one of the few daring to break the mold. Levi has been vocal about Hollywood’s overwhelming liberal bias, and he’s calling on his fellow conservatives to stop hiding and speak up. His message is clear: it’s now or never.
Daily Caller: Zachary Levi’s Bold Stand
Zachary Levi isn’t holding back. He recently took to social media with a direct message to the conservative actors who’ve kept quiet for too long. According to Levi, the time for silence is over. Hollywood is already on shaky ground, and the opportunity to stand up for their beliefs may not come around again.
In a response to Whoopi Goldberg, who dismissed the idea of a liberal Hollywood monopoly, Levi pushed back hard. “There are plenty of conservatives in this industry,” Levi said, “but they’re afraid. They’ve sent me messages. They’re terrified of losing everything.”
Levi doesn’t downplay their concerns. He acknowledges the risks, but points out a grim reality: the industry is already crumbling. Between the pandemic, ongoing strikes, and a string of bad business decisions, Hollywood may not be the haven of opportunity it once was.
“Our industry is gonna be f#@$% n’ gonzo,” Levi warned, making it clear that the risks of staying silent may soon outweigh the consequences of speaking out. With Hollywood already in decline, why protect a career in an industry that might not be around much longer?
Is Hollywood Still Worth It?
Levi’s assessment of Hollywood’s future isn’t just his opinion. The signs are everywhere: box office numbers are dropping, streaming platforms are flooded with low-quality content, and strikes have shaken the industry to its core. For conservative actors, the question is simple: is it worth staying quiet?
Levi argues that stepping forward could be a smart move. The rise of independent media, podcasts, and platforms like YouTube has shifted the entertainment landscape. Hollywood no longer holds the monopoly on fame or success.
Actors like Tim Allen and Chris Pratt have managed to thrive despite their open conservatism. They’ve found a large audience of Americans who appreciate hearing from voices that reflect their own values. Levi believes more conservative actors could find similar success if they’re willing to break free from Hollywood’s left-wing stronghold.
A New Era for Conservative Voices
Levi’s advice comes at a crucial moment. The entertainment world is shifting, and conservative actors have a chance to carve out their own space. The fear of being blacklisted might have once kept them in line, but with Hollywood’s future looking uncertain, the old rules no longer apply.
If the industry continues to decline, those who step forward now may find themselves part of a new wave of conservative voices, embraced by an audience eager for content that aligns with their beliefs. The stakes are high, but so are the rewards.
Levi’s message is clear: don’t wait for Hollywood to collapse entirely. Take a stand now. With platforms outside of traditional Hollywood gaining influence, conservative actors have more options than ever before. And with Donald Trump leading the charge into 2024, there’s a real chance for these voices to make an impact—both in entertainment and in the broader cultural conversation.
For conservative actors, the time to speak out is here.
