There’s a concept here called “acting”. One can play the part of a villain or that of a hero....it doesn’t mean that the person feels that way in real life. Likewise, one can play the part of a politician who is a conservative or one who is a liberal without actually adopting that as their own personal viewpoint.
I’m an Army veteran, but don’t watch many military based films....that doesn’t mean I’m opposed to someone doing a military based film.
Acting and filmmaking are artistic endeavors made for entertainment and profit. Actors and filmmakers are people. The point of view expressed in a film isn’t necessarily the viewpoint of the actor or the filmmaker.
I can enjoy the film whether or not I know the actor’s personal viewpoint.....and I believe that the actor has as much right to state his own viewpoint as I do (even if we disagree). I’m not going to boycott an actor’s films due to the fact that I disagree with him....though I reserve the right to do so for other reasons if I see fit.

@DragonFruit that doesn't justify the fact that the over indulgence and glorification of gun violence, and acts of violence in general in the movies, tv, video games and music we watch and listen to , does impact and influence our minds expecialy young minds.. so yes the actor is complicit and responsible for how thier characters play on the screen.. especially when they are supposed critics of the very thing they portray on the screen..

@DragonFruit you can't deny john wick is a gunn orgy and does nothing but fuel the imaginations of mass killing by impressionable people, and that gun violence is the answer to solve problems
