mini tv character victories

[affectionjunkie]

Does anyone else get excited when real life actors have an effect on their tv persona? By this I mean when an actor uses their pull to effect the way their character in shown to promote veg*n lifestyles? I could only think of vegetarian examples, but here are some off the top of my head

i think edelstein is actually vegan :)

i remember also hearing that joaquim pheonix refused to wear leather for "walk the line" and made sure his costume was pleather.

That's true about Phoenix.

i think whoever played that woman on the x-files is also vegan... but i don't think she's done anything veganish on tv

well, in 2006 she ate duck: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2006/may/07/tvbaftas2006.television

I think she is one of those widely publicized vegans that isn't actually vegan: Clint Eastwood and Elijah Wood are two others.

I rarely say a celebrity is vegan unless I read it in an interview and they say it.

I guess she might have been vegetarian?

All writers take note! There is a writer's workshop at one of my favorite places in the world, Hollyhock, where Elizabeth Rosner -- whom you all must know by now -- wrote The Speed Of Light which I am yes, still in the process of adapting.
GO! Soak in her wisdom, soak naked in the communal hot tub, and have a magical vegetarian experience.

Gillian? Nope. Which is a shame, I adore her. :(

yeah, here is it mentioned in People: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20062783,00.html

I didn't know Lisa Edelstein might be vegan, it just says she is vegetarian on wikipedia.

It says here that she's been vegan in the past but struggled with it and so isn't anymore.
