One of film and television’s most respected character actors, Emmy-winner James Cromwell is perhaps now best known for his most recent role as the iconoclastic “radical sheep” in a family of cut-throat conservative capitalists on “Succession.” In this fascinating episode of The Thread, James Cromwell speaks candidly about his motivation, not as an actor, but as an activist.  You will meet a man who has walked the talk as a fighter for animal rights (earning him multiple arrests for civil disobedience), who has directly confronted government officials about taking stronger action to protect the environment, and who is a passionate patriot committed to civil rights and social justice.
