'Succession' actor James Cromwell railed against Starbucks' vegan milk surcharge during a Tuesday PETA demonstration that shut down a Manhattan shop.

Cromwell was also cited in 2017 for trespassing after he and six other activists interrupted an orca show at SeaWorld in San Diego to stage a protest. “We’re here to bring attention to the damage that charging extra money does for animals and the planet and the people living on the planet.” And Starbucks agrees that vegan milks are a big part of the solution, but it still charges for them. “Stop this practice of charging customers more for something that should be available to everybody, that saves the planet, that does not harm animals and will make a difference. Cromwell eventually unglued his hand and that of another demonstrator at the location before the shop was briefly shut down, TMZ reported. When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals and the environment suffer?” he said in a live broadcast posted on social media, railing against former Chief Executive Kevin Johnson — and presumably interim chief Howard Schultz — and the dairy industry.
