The hell are you talking about? He freely expresses his bigoted opinions. What other actors say about him is irrelevant.

Having an opinion that differs from another does not equate to bigotry.

I've got no love for either Manveer or this apparent Ted Cruz supporter. Always depressing to discover another one of those.

He supports the harassment and subjugation of women, thinks gay people should be treated as second-class citizens, and wants fewer minority actors getting roles. That's bigotry.

Based on the above irrefutable proof that Manveer Heir loves Adam Baldwin, do you think he'll make a return in the upcoming game?

I would not say no to it...

Not from anything I have seen or read. Source?

Besides Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwyn appearing in a past Bioware title, I am unaware of other occurrences. Please link the other such VO's, as I am interested in such.

Eve Myles was Merrill in DA2 

 

Gareth David-Loyd was Solas in DAI

 

Both were on Torchwood.

 

I can't find any other instances either.

His own twitter account. He's not shy about his bigotry.

Thanks! I do not watch Torchwood myself, but am an imagined Browncoat since Firefly launched back in the day. Still is my fave TV boxed set, and frequently follow the various team at panels, Cons, etc via videos.

As for Adam Baldwyn, his work with other cast folks at Nerd HQ over the years has resulted me in liking the man a bit more, as well as others doing the charity events with him. And while he may be opposed to social and political ideas with several of those in these varied teams, there apparently is respect and civility between them all.

Have read some of it; not seeing it. Being opposed to a POV does not equate to bias.

[Iakus]

I try not to follow the social or political leanings of actors, writers, or other entertainers.  As long as they don't bring it into the their work, I don't care what they think.  I don't require a political litmus test to entertain me.

I wouldn't complain if he voices a character in the next game. Too bad the character he voiced, Kal'Reegar, wasn't a squadmate in ME3 instead of having Tali.

Just google "Adam Baldwin twitter" for more.

Indira Varma, aka Vivienne, was a cast member in the early days of Torchwood too.

I already use Google to read his Twitter acct, though I only started recently due to this thread. The linked sources are not credible for me, so I try and go to the main source instead. As mentioned, the comments I have read thus far, and vids I have seen do not validate such an opinion.

[ArcadiaGrey]

Well damn, I didn't know any of this. Maybe it's better, if you enjoy an actor's work, to know diddly squat about them irl.

Still enjoyed him as Kal'Reeger tho

How can you breathe with your head so far down in the sand? Or maybe you just agree with Adam Baldwin?

The huffpo article's update claims that his tweets were taken out of context while the majority of Google's links are about that same piece before the update?

[Puddi III]

The update reports that Adam Baldwin claims he was taken out of context. They always say that.

He was probably taken out of context when he said that too.

I would at least respect them if they did that. Because last time I checked Huffington Post was at least considered a pretty respectful source as internet "news" sites go.

When Barrowman and Gorman each do a voice then I think it's time to move on from Torchwood. I would love Matt Smith to do a voice more.   

[The Hierophant]

The problem is that huffpo usually pulls clickbait bs like that in their stories, and their links are usually taken with a grain of salt in most news forums.

 

Others news sources like Fox, their affiliates like Breitbart, Huffpo, Daily Beast, BBC (almost there soon) are biased and have been known to frame things out of context in order to get that click.

[SnakeCode]

Lol at Fluffpost being a "respectful source". They're well known for putting out clickbait trash.

Based on the little I have read on Twitter, I both agree and disagree with him, like most folks.

Sorry; do not see this as bigotry, and this notion seems to be supported by others. Joss Whedon rehired him for Angel, and Nathan Fillion and many of the cast appear supportive and mention various social encounters. Zachary Levi invites him for Nerd HQ on Firefly and The Last Ship. Etc. Most celebs at these functions are not apparently in the same mindset as Adam Baldwyn, yet they interact with him frequently, and in a supportive manner.

[Puddi III]

He was implying 'this leads to that' in one way or another.

 

Either he meant legally, in which case no, he's just stupid because incest is still illegal, just like a guy couldn't marry his sister or mother before the SS marriage ruling.

 

Or he meant based on the moral arguments people make for SS marriage, going off the preferred definition of marriage as 'two consenting adults,' which does not seem to technically preclude incest between adults unless you play with the definition of 'consent.'

 

Or he is just against any sort of 'redefinition,' because then why not redefine it to include incest or marrying your horse?

 

In any case, leaving aside whether the second or third points have merit, if he was making either of those, his comments were not being 'taken out of context,' regardless of your feelings about Huffington Post in general.

[Neoleviathan]

Passive agressive Bioware. Hires Baldwin, but has him play Vorcha or Elcor. Yes please!
