Wow… Mr Adam Baldwin banned me from his twitter feed… Jayne Cobb get back in your bunk your drunk!
Yes, you did read that right. Adam Baldwin famous for his portrayal of Jayne Cobb in Firefly and Agent John Casey from Chuck banned me from following his twitter feed. I guess it should be kind of a compliment that he took time to do this.
You see I stared following Mr Baldwin’s feed a couple of weeks ago, mainly because I am a fan of Firefly. Much to my surprise he has some interesting and fairly odd right-wing political beliefs. Unlike most Actors though he was vocal about it on Twitter, and me… Well being me, especially in the face of outright lies and propaganda replied to his Tweets from time to time.
Well… Yesterday he replied, (very much to my surprise) to one of my replies over the Government shutdown, and we had mild, and very small Twitter political argument. I didn’t think anything of it, went off to fix my Jeep and had an amusing conversation with my wife over this bizarre and surreal debate I had with a fairly well-known actor, (at least in our circle) later on in the evening.
I was more polite than he was and it is his point of view, which everyone has a right too. I did find the discussion interesting for the 6-7 back and forth tweets we had, and even wished him a good day as I went off to do other things.
Now though, I really wish I saved the discussion because it would bring context into this blog, sadly as he has taken the time to block me it appears I can no longer access this conversation, or you would see it all posted here. Heck, I wouldn’t have even thought about making this blog if he had not taken these odd steps – after all who am I to him? I’m just an Englishman living on the East Coast writing stories about Teddy Bears and Fairy tales. That should give you a clue on how important I regarded our conversations effect on him, after all people are people and it was just a difference of opinion. Who knew thought that Mr Baldwin is as easy to piss off and is as surly as the characters he portrays.
Well I do now… So ends another mild brush with Hollywood… Onwards
