Veteran stuntman Todd Bryant has refused an offer to work as a stunt double for actor Ron Perlman. Bryant cited Perlman’s political views as the reason for his decision in a post on X.
On June 9, 2026, Bryant wrote that he had been contacted for the role on a current project. “The short answer is NO,” he stated. “I will not work for liberals with TDS like Will Ferrell or Ron. I lost all respect for these actors.” Bryant has worked on films including Ford v Ferrari and Star Trek V. His post drew supportive replies from users who praised his stance and said they would avoid projects involving Perlman or Ferrell. Perlman has made repeated public criticisms of President Donald Trump and other Republicans. These include a 2020 challenge to Sen. Ted Cruz for a fight and remarks labeling Gov. Ron DeSantis a “Nazi pig” over Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law.
