As an actor in Hollywood for 29 years I have seen more gratuitous violence and cruelty than I care to say. It is time for a violence tax to be levied on this negative pablum that we continue to feed our children. I realize the necessity of conflict in drama, but there are human lives at stake, and it is time we were all responsible for one another. A violence tax would be felt by the pockets of the producers, and I guarantee you better and more enlightening entertainment.
