Hollywood's Unlikely Liaison: The Voight Trump Alliance and What It Means for the Industry Jon Voight, the 87 year old actor known for his iconic roles in films like "Coming Home" and "Midnight Cowboy," has been appointed by President Trump as a special ambassador to Hollywood.
This appointment marks a significant shift in the way that Hollywood approaches its relationship with the government. For decades, the industry has been vocal about its opposition to any form of regulation or taxation.
Voight's efforts are focused on securing a federal film and television tax credit, which would provide financial incentives for productions to shoot on location within the United States.
