Actor James Cromwell went to great lengths while joining PETA's protest against Starbucks on Tuesday.

In a video shared by the animal rights organization, the Succession star, 82, superglued his hand to a counter in a New York City Starbucks to protest the coffee chain's "senseless" upcharge for Vegan milk.

"There's no reason for it except greed," Cromwell says in part in a video shared by PETA on Facebook, later reading a letter and asking, "Will you stop charging more for vegan milk? When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals, and the environment suffer? When you will stop penalizing people for their ethnicities and morals? The senseless upcharge hurts animals."

After his message, Cromwell and other protesters begin to chant "Save the planet, save the cows. End the vegan upcharge now."

I guess you can rule out potty breaks for that sort of protest.

The obvious question is, what is Vegan Milk ???

Is that something like Oak or Soy Milk instead of cow’s milk.

It’s just a way to bolster his failed career. Some idiots will think he actually cares.

File him with useless fools like meghan markel.

Leave the idiot there. Put a screen around him. In Texas a few years ago some idiots went to a rattlesnake roundup and chained themselves to the fence. They put screens up to block them from view and just continued on with their business.

They hate being ignored.
