Mark Ruffalo is the voice of conscience in Hollywood. From human rights issues to speaking out against corporate consolidation, he is there.
Another example of standing up for the issues the Academy-nominated actor believes in, he co-wrote an op-ed. new York Times.
In a fiery article, he criticized the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger but shared an undisclosed title.
Many Hollywood stars oppose the merger but are afraid to speak publicly.
Marvel star and American Economic Liberties Project research director Matt Stoller wrote, “The most revealing thing about that letter was not the people who signed. It was the people who didn’t sign.”
“Not because they disagreed – because they were afraid. There are many reasons for blocking this deal, but we now believe the most fundamental reason is the one we encountered when we asked artists to use their voices: fear. A deep, ugly, and pervasive fear of speaking out.”
Ruffalo’s article comes after he, along with more than 4,000 others, signed a petition seeking to stop the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, citing job cuts and reduced competition from combining multiple companies under one umbrella.
