Former Bob’s Burgers actor Jay Johnston was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for his role in the January 6th US Capitol riot.

Johnston… previously pleaded guilty to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder in July 2024.

The 56-year-old actor was initially arrested in June 2023 after the FBI tweeted a photo requesting information about his identity. He is alleged to have led a group to the “front line of rioters confronting the police who were defending the entrance” to the Capitol, helping to launch an assault against a group of officers.

      I surely know that you don’t have to live in California if you’re a movie star and get cast in legitimate movies anymore.

      A large number of them aren’t even shot in California anymore.

          First of all, production companies are literally shooting in Georgia all the time. I have a friend who works in production in Atlanta.

          Secondly, if they wanted Kevin Sorbo in movies, he could live wherever he wanted. He didn’t abandon Hollywood, Hollywood abandoned him. Because he’s a lunatic with an ego the size of Mount Olympus.
