"I've played serial killers, rapists, racists, Klansmen, sexual harassers, thieves--I mean, let's face it. I've played a LOT of Democrats." --Nick Searcy
In Justify This, veteran character actor Nick Searcy takes you through his wide-ranging career, from both sides of the camera as an actor and director, to guest-hosting for Rush Limbaugh, managing a professional wrestler, co-starring in the hit show Justified--and somehow continuing to work in Hollywood even AFTER he went to Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021. Director of Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer and producer/star of the seminal documentary about January 6, Capitol Punishment, Nick's story of following his heart to become a professional actor and following his conscience and faith to stand up for what he believed--even though it might have cost him the career he built--will be an inspiration to you--and make you laugh along the way. Actor, director, producer, writer, wrestling manager, guest columnist, stand-up comic, filmmaker, and one of the meanest Twitter people ever, Nick Searcy is a unique voice of common sense in today's culture.Author Biography
