The Office actor calls out Hollywood’s anti-Christian bias. A character reads a Bible, is a ‘horrific villain’
Speaking to both the failing creativity of the industry and the inherent biases of Hollywood heathens, an alum from “The Office” called out his entertainment peers after a recent example of how a “Bible-reading preacher” predictably turned out to be “a horrific villain.” | The list of successful celebrities who openly promote faith is notably short including the likes of Chris Pratt, Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington, Mel Gibson and Jim Caviezel. Even rarer are those with notoriety taking shots at their peers for their portrayal of Christians in media, which is precisely what actor Rainn Wilson did Saturday after watching the HBO series “The Last of Us.” ● Taking to Twitter, the actor known for playing Dwight Schrute wrote, 💬 “I do think there is an anti-Christian bias in Hollywood. As soon as the David character in ‘The Last of Us’ started reading from the Bible I knew that he was going to be a horrific villain. Could there be a Bible-reading preacher on a show who is actually loving and kind?” Wilson’s comment referenced a character from the post-apocalyptic video game adaptation that leads a group of cannibals and uses Bible quotes to justify their behavior.
