Thread of Lucifer cast fundraiser with Florida Democrats

I’ll tweet things as they say them
BABY
LAB looks so pretty
Rachael looks pretty too
DB
So cute
DB is happy his dad lived to see Obama became president and relieved he didn’t have to live to see Trump https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
Tom: “I don’t care if people say you’re just an actor and shouldn’t have a voice. I am a citizen of the world. You need to vote”
At 10 years old Lesley-Ann was in love with America

She and Tom both look to America as the leader and love America but hate Trump
Lesley-Ann talked about seeing her parents vote for the first time after Apartheid and how important it is to vote
Lesley-Ann: “what gives me hope (about BLM) is that more conversations are happening and more white Americans are looking at their biases”
Lesley-Ann said it’s very important how actors portray black characters on television and that they have a responsibility too
D.B.: “The only thing I can say to black men is we can’t make a difference unless we show up” (and vote) “if you can’t follow the black women that have been nurturing us.. they are pushing us to show up this year ... it matters. They cannot do it without you”
Q: is it difficult to raise children in the current climate
Tom: the biggest concern as a parent is climate change and we have a president who denies climate change
Tom said it’s hard to keep his kids positive about climate change
Rachael said her kids aren’t old enough to understand but been very forward with him about not running up to other children and he inspires her because he remembers his mask
Rachael’s favorite president growing up was Reagan and she was raised republican. She’s hopeful that politicians can agree to disagree and be civil and she thinks Biden can do that
DB: “Parenting has been really challenging”

For awhile he was hiding out in his house during covid and only seeing his daughter

The scariest thing for him was his daughter waking up and asking him if the world was ending and that it haunts him
Tom talked about his family being pastors and that they always push for separation of church and state and that religion doesn’t have a place in politics

He doesn’t know how a Christian can vote for Trump and if Jesus was around he would be the first saying vote Joe Biden
Lesley-Ann grew up Catholic and always wanted to understand faith and “why I had to say ten Hail Marys”
Question: what’s the best quality of your character

Tom: Lucifer tells the truth all the time
LAB: Maze grows as a character

DB: Amenadiel has God’s ear. He is God’s favorite son (Tom butts in “Allegedly” D.B. laughs). But what D.B. loves most is his ability to always wants to learn
DB: it’s okay to evolve and be aware that you made a mistake and continue growing

Rachael: “She has an ability to be an ally to everyone and she empathizes with everyone. If she can’t she’s brave enough to look at it and ask herself why”
Question: favorite episode

Tom: Priest walks into a bar. Two friends who bond over music

LAB: My Little Monkey. Two friends celebrating their friendship and how it’s a coming out story
DB: Super Bad Boyfriend. It tackles the systemic racism inside of a police department. Amenadiel was experiencing racism for the first time and didn’t understand the difference. His brothers and sisters are all different races/sexualities and he doesn’t understand
Rachael talked about 5x13. Will post the video later
Question: is it more fun to play an evil or a good character?

Lesley-Ann: it’s fun to play characters that get it wrong and then get it right. There’s a reason evil characters hurt people
DB: Complicated characters are the most fun to play. One moment they’re good and the next they’re evil
DB talks about a friend. White working class friend. They disagree and what holds them together is their love of each other’s families even though they disagree and we need to get back to a place where we can agree to disagree
He’s known him since they were 6-7 years old and they love each other dearly
Tom: what I love about Lucifer is he always says what he wants and does what he wants, but that’s not a good quality in a president
Rachael likes complicated characters
Question: Are you going to vote in the next election?

Rachael: just moved so she’s still waiting on her absentee ballot. She says if she has to she will wait in line for hours on Election Day

She also mentioned the producers then jokingly said “Tom”
DB says the same thing as Rachael. He says he’ll wait for hours with a gas mask on

LAB: “I’ll be annoying you on social media to vote.” She says she will drive people to the polls in her minivan of it comes to that
Tom: “I wish Election Day was a national holiday” he hopes there will be a big turnout to get rid of trump

LAB: if you’re going to vote by mail add 3 weeks to the cutoff date so it gets in in time
The moderator said something about Florida having the most votes by mail so far. The cast applauded and Tom said “Go Florida”

Question: Who are you voting for in the next election?
Tom: Joe Biden will unite the United States of America

LAB: Joe and Kamala best represent the values she wants. She thinks people should look at themselves and say “this is right and I’m gonna vote for Kamala right now”
DB: I will never forget my daughter saying “Daddy is the world ending.” We’ve been through enough and Joe Biden and Kamala are here to make it right. Joe Biden is a man of empathy. Let’s heal this
Moderator forgot Rachael. Tom says “Go on Rachael”

Then Rachael... I love her so much
Rachael started naming people who were on the zoom call saying “I see you”.

“The fact that there’s 600 of you who are willing to sit with us and talk is the reason why we’re all so moved to donate because we’ve been treated as if we don’t matter.”
She names more people.

“It’s just inspiring to look at all your faces right now. It’s not that we want to be self-riteous”

She said she wants to get Trump on Linda’s couch
Tom’s closing statement
The organization raised 17.5 million dollars and need $530,000 more to fund all the programs they want to fund, so go donate
I was mostly paraphrasing a lot and I probably missed some things, but I did my best. I hope this thread was satisfactory
