He said he was willing to sacrifice his career to ensure that American liberties were not ‘taken away’.

I know because I saw it. I know because she was there dreaming of coming here. I’m that guy.
He added: ‘I did not become a citizen of this country to have my First Amendment rights and my other rights [taken away]…for me to have to worry about having to lie about something like having a vaccine, I think that’s an invasion of privacy. I don’t think it’s correct.

Marsden is known for his conservative views and for speaking out against “woke” ideologies.
In December, he commented that right-wing celebrities were more likely to be ‘canceled’ for their opinions, while left-wing celebrities were free to express their views.
He cited Mark Ruffalo, Ron Pearlman, and Sean Penn as examples.

“Hollywood conservatives speak out against tyranny and write us off. The phone stops ringing,’ he wrote on Twitter.
That’s all they have to do. Ruffalo, Pearlman and Penn say all kinds of things and nothing happens to them. In fact, they will be wanted for their ‘courageous stances’.
More recently, he wrote on the microblogging site: ‘If everyone is vaccinated, there is no control group. Remember that.’
