The incident reflects ongoing tensions between entertainment industry professionals over political expression.
Stunt performer Todd Bryant announced on social media that he had rejected an offer to work as a stunt double for actor Ron Perlman on a current project, stating he would not work with "liberals with TDS" (Trump Derangement Syndrome).
