MacDougal reported that Steve Buscemi, a beloved national figure, was assaulted in Kips Bay earlier this week.
These types of attacks are completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. So, to all those who are witnessing these incidents, I have a crucial message: It is imperative to cease physically assaulting character actors. Regrettably, this incident is reminiscent of previous assaults on Rick Moranis and the incredibly talented Michael Stuhlbarg.
According to MacDougal, the New York Police Department has provided security details for individuals whose faces are recognizable, but their names are not known.
According to the expert, there are certain stars who might be at-risk. This includes the highly prolific Stephen Root, as well as the actresses who played girlfriends on “Seinfeld” and the actors who have played boyfriends on “Sex and the City.”
MacDougal announced that they had requested Paul Giamatti to stay at home, highlighting the crucial role that character actors play in the entertainment industry.
During the event, Jon Hamm, known for his roles in “Fargo” and “Mad Men,” joined the mock press corps and humorously inquired about his own well-being. He playfully questioned whether he should be concerned, quipping that if he were to be hit in the face, he would just be “a tall guy with a perfect body.”
MacDougal reassured him that he would be fine and advised the public against physically assaulting actors. He emphasized that actors should not be targeted based on their attractiveness, but rather recognized for their talent.
MacDougal urges people to refrain from physically assaulting character actors they may encounter in public. Instead, he suggests conducting a quick Google search to identify the projects they have worked on and express gratitude for their contributions.
