‘9-1-1’ Actor Rockmond Dunbar Sues Disney and Fox Over COVID Vaccine-Related Firing
Zack Sharf Rockmond Dunbar has filed a lawsuit against Disney and 20th Century Fox over his firing from the procedural television series “9-1-1.” Dunbar, who played Michael Grant for five seasons, is unvaccinated against COVID. The actor said he filed paperwork to the studios seeking a religious and medical exemption for the COVID vaccine.“In September 2021, [the studios] introduced a new policy mandating that all employees be vaccinated against COVID-19, but allowed actors like Mr. Dunbar to request an accommodation based on either medical or religious reasons,” the lawsuit reads.
