He credits Sandler for nudging him to the political right, and he is not shy about voicing his disdain for California’s current path.
Schneider told WND he is frustrated that red tape in the policies of Gov. Jerry Brown forced him to move his vitamin business out of California. It became too expensive and time consuming for him to comply with state regulations.
Although the best production staff, hair and makeup people are in California, he has not done a film in the Golden State in seven years.
Brown and the supermajority of Democrats in the legislature, Schneider said, have created a hostile work environment for its most prized industry – filmmaking.
Schneider said that no state has more to offer in terms of talent, climate and resources than California. He wants to do more work in the state but blames the Democrat supermajority and its hostility to business for the the industry’s struggles.
He asks others in the industry: “Do you really want to fly to Louisiana to do your next movie or would you love to do it here in California?”
Schneider isn’t alone among Hollywood stars who have leaned right politically.

Ping for later
This is no different.
Rob Schneider just took a self-imposed pay cut.
Sandler grew up in Manchester, NH. He recently built his family a house not to far from mine, to the west side of Nashua & Manchester. He did not want his children growing up in Southern California.
When Hollywood sees the light, it sees the light.
Reagan did.
Get's mugged...or just grows up.
Older liberals are intensely delusion in order to resist the call of reality and sanity.
Roooob. The robmeister. Rob a lob a ding dong. Makin coffee. Sellin the vity’s. Roooooob.
If only he was funny.
Yet in almost all of Sandlers movies he promotes homosexuality. It’s one thing to shield your own family yet another to support the Hollyweird agenda in his movies. Doesn’t he produce his own movies? Happy Madison or some such?
The term Hollywood Star is a stretch.
Lots of them are leaving California liberal and conservative alike.
Getting lambasted by ultra liberal Roger Ebert would drive you to the GOP
Doesn’t sound like he’s aligned with the GOP.
He is just fed up with the democrats.
Only in movies because he is friends with Adam Sandler.
Best known for the phrase “Yu Con Do EET!”
I think he does produce most of his own movies now. Like many others now, they are filmed outside of California typically. It is too expensive to make movies there. Many are now filmed in Vancouver, BC.
Canada, Georgia, Michigan, the Carolinas.
Who cares?
Maybe he can make another film glorifying male prostitution to the kids? You know, those conservative values. *barf*
I have no idea why some people care so much about celebutards
Now that he’s tilted right, he’ll never work in the entertainment biz again. Or at least I hope he won’t.
