Levi initially endorsed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a figure notorious for his controversial stances on vaccines, in 2024. When Kennedy shifted his support to Trump, the Chuck actor didn’t hesitate to follow suit.
The endorsements became personal for Levi, who now acknowledges the consequences of his choices.
“I know that there are people that would prefer not to work with me now because of my opinions. My team has let me know,” he told Variety, indicating that while it may hurt his career prospects in L.A., he remains resolute in his convictions.
While Levi’s political views may alienate him from many in the entertainment industry, his sights are set on larger goals.
He has embarked on an ambitious plan to launch Wyldwood Studios in Austin, Texas, a venture estimated to cost $100 million. Levi hopes to create a full-service facility that embraces a new model for filmmaking — a stark contrast to the conventional practices he believes are “crumbling” the industry.
