Defendant offered plaintiff a film role during the COVID crisis, if he would get vaccinated. He refused. Defendant hire another actor. Held, the trial court erred in denying defendant’s Anti-SLAPP motion. Defendant’s casting decision was conduct in furtherance of free speech in connection with two public issues: a prominent entertainment company (1) voted with its feet in the vaccination controversy and (2) decided how to portray an enigmatic figure in American history. Plaintiff’s privacy claim failed because defendant was entitled to rely on authoritative views about sensible ways to protect its workplace. Plaintiff’s discrimination claims failed because he was unqualified for the work. Safety was a job requirement plaintiff could not satisfy.
