​Thomas Sadoski Reportedly Lost a Job for Defending Jessica Walter

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Nov 28, 2018

Thomas Sadoski, an actor best known for roles in The Newsroom and Life in Pieces, claims he lost out on a job after he stood up for Jessica Walter.
 
In an Instagram post a while back, he shared a selfie with Walter and condemned the actions of her male cast-mates on the set of Arrested Development, saying that "excusing that kind of behavior is pathetic."
 
His wife, Amanda Seyfried, has now reposted that photo with added commentary.
 
"Here's a somewhat recent post from my husband who, in return for standing beside a badass woman who'd recently been bullied, recently lost out on a job because of this," she wrote. "I'd rather speak up and lose out. Integrity, ladies and gentlemen."
 
It's unclear which role Sadoski lost out on (or if it was a project featuring Jeffrey Tambor), but he and Walter worked together on the set of The Mimic earlier this year. It's currently in post-production.

Here's a somewhat recent post from my husband who, in return for standing beside a badass woman who'd recently been bullied, recently lost out on a job because of this. I'd rather speak up and lose out. Integrity, ladies and gentlemen. #Repost @thomas_sadoski ・・・ This is Jessica Walter. She is a national goddamned treasure. It was an honor and a privilege to work with her. I don't give a fuck who you think you are or how good you think you are or how awesome you think your buddy/daddy is: screaming at someone isn't "part of the business". It's bullshit. It's unhinged bullshit behavior and it has NEVER been acceptable. It wasn't cool in the 70's or 80's or whenthefuckever you "came up". It was bullshit then, it is bullshit now. And excusing that kind of behavior is pathetic. Just pathetic. I worked in shitty greasy-spoon kitchens growing up: it wasn't acceptable behavior THERE and most of us were on HEAVY DRUGS. It certainly isn't acceptable for some man-baby millionaire to do on a cozy ass tv show set. And it is even less acceptable for his male cast-mates to excuse it away IN FRONT OF THE PERSON THAT IT HAPPENED TO....(wait for it)....WHILE SHE IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN HOW TRAUMATIZING THE EXPERIENCE WAS. What in the halfpenny fuck is happening?!
