The List for Tuesday, May 25th 2021

Welcome to The List,

With Memorial Day just around the corner Country Stars are sharing their support.  Tim McGraw is thankful for the safety he feels. “They put their life on the line. They put their families on the back burner because they have to be away while we sit in our comfortable homes and we take our kids to a great school and we drive in our cars to places, and we feel safe. They provide that.”

Brett Young shares his feelings on sacrifice  “You know, I wouldn’t get to do what I do and I wouldn’t get to enjoy the freedoms that I do if there weren’t people that had gone and made those sacrifices. And so, once I kind of realized that it’s about the freedoms we enjoy in this country, it became a really, really special holiday for me.”

If you’re a fan of ‘The Office’, there is sad news out of Hollywood, TMZ reports that Marcus York, who played Billy Merchant in the earlier seasons of the comedy series, died following an illness (details about what led to his illness and death have not been revealed.  In addition to appearing on The Office, the actor appeared in CSI: New York and Fighting Words.

Kevin Spacey has booked his first film role since sexual assault allegations against him surfaced more than three years ago, though the new credit isn’t without controversy.  Ironically, the actor is set to return to the big screen as a detective investigating a sex crime.

John Krasinski’s new movie sequel “A Quiet Place Part 2” is in theaters this weekend and he talks about why you should REALLY see this movie in a theater…“I just think that this movie is so uniquely primed for the theater, we designed it completely to be a theatrical experience. So, in this movie we tried to push the boundaries even more with what we did with sound and put YOU in the movie and make you feel like you are part of this terrifying experience.” He says it’s much bigger and scarier than the original film, we’ll take a closer look at “A Quiet Place 2” on At The Movies Thursday. “A Quiet Place Part 2” is in theaters Friday.
