(NewsNation) — Actor Tony Goldwyn, known for his role as President Fitzgerald Grant on the hit TV series “Scandal,” isn’t concerned that Hollywood’s support for President Joe Biden could backfire politically.

Goldwyn said Wednesday on NewsNation’s “Dan Abrams Live” that he encourages people to get engaged in the political process, regardless of their ideology.

“If you have a strong point of view, get out there and vote and join the system,” Goldwyn said. “If you got a problem with it, run for something.”

New film ‘Ezra’

Goldwyn recently directed the film “Ezra,” written by his longtime friend Tony Spiridakis, who has an autistic son. The movie stars Bobby Cannavale as a stand-up comedian and screenwriter navigating the challenges of raising an 11-year-old autistic son.

“It was just a beautiful experience, and a great thing that I got to tell my friend’s story,” Goldwyn said.

The film boasts an impressive cast, including Rainn Wilson, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro and Rose Byrne.
