Brent Sexton (born August 12, 1967) is an American actor best known for his roles in the television series Bosch, The Killing, Life, and Deadwood. He has guest starred in several other television series, such as The Expanse, Justified, That's Life, Birds of Prey, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Judging Amy. He has also appeared in several motion pictures, such as In the Valley of Elah, Flightplan, Radio, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. In 2006, Sexton, along with the cast of Deadwood, was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2022, Sexton was denied a role in the movie Manhunt due to his refusal to get vaccinated against the deadly Covid-19 virus. He asked for an exemption from the studio, which was denied, and he sued claiming discrimination, invasion of privacy, refusal to engage in an interactive process and accommodate him. The case of Sexton v. Apple Studios was appealed to California's Second District, which found the studio was within their right not to cast Sexton in the movie because of the deadly risk posed to others. In doing so, the Court said the following: "Sexton’s position boils down to his claim that he had a right to impose a potentially deadly risk on coworkers so he could act in Manhunt. No precedent supports this claim." (Via Wikipedia)
