Lloyd Bridges

Lloyd Bridges was temporarily blacklisted in the 1950s after admitting to the House Un-American Activities Committee that he had once been a member of the Actors’ Laboratory Theater, a group that reportedly had links to Communism. But he was just one of approximately 325 American actors who were blacklisted during the “Red Scare,” the promotion of a widespread fear of a potential rise of communism, anarchism and other leftist ideologies.
