It is always easier to brush a writer or director being a piece of shit under the carpet than an actor, you don't have to watch them perform. With the actor, they are always there, reminding you of their arrant stupidity by their very constant appearance. Whedon ran a casting couch, but he's a writer/director and isn't visible in his work; Polanski raped a kid but he's never on screen so you can sorta forget it as it gets lost behind other people's work; Sorbo is front and center dispensing lessons on kindness and equality he obviously has utter contempt for in real life, and there is no way to hide that. It still amazes me that Sorbo managed to take in none of the lessons his character dispensed each week tho, how dumb and thoughtless was/is he?
