IMDB.com\u2019s \u201cStar Rating\u201d feature lets users rank the actors they care about the most at any given time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The ranking often reflects the news cycle and the pervading pop culture sentiment. That explains why legendary actor Christopher Plummer, who died earlier this month at the age of 91, is no. 3 on the list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The no. 1 spot belongs to Carano, though, something<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\/movies\/gina-carano-popular-star-world-firing\/\"><span>We Got This Covered<\/span><\/a> <span>announced Feb. 17.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The site rates celebrities\u2019 current popularity based on their IMDb profile views every week, and typically those in the top spots are featured in the internet\u2019s latest favorite movies or TV shows. In this case, though, the controversy surrounding Carano has launched her to #1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Carano\u2019s Daily Wire deal generated plenty of media coverage over the last few days, along with a petition for Disney to re-hire the actress to play Cara Dune once more on \u201cThe Mandalorian\u2019s\u201d third season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Attempts to cancel Carano from the culture at large even extended to her Hasbro action figure. The toy giant stopped production on the Cara Dune figures despite the model selling briskly last year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Even that move backfired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Existing Cara Dune figures suddenly spiked in price on sites like eBay. Some action figures were selling for as<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gina-caranos-mandalorian-action-figures-skyrocket-in-price-after-cancel-culture-row\"><span>much as $495<\/span><\/a><span>, according to TheHill.com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Carano recently admitted she learned about her Disney dismissal from social media, not from the mega studio directly. She\u2019ll likely discuss that, and much more about her momentous career detour, when she sits down with Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro on the next edition of his \u201cSunday Special\u201d interview showcase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The chat will be Carano\u2019s first, long-form conversation since being let go by Disney. Their conversation will be available on both Dailywire.com, YouTube and major podcast platforms February 21st.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Carano\u2019s high profile dismissal revealed the obvious inconsistencies in today\u2019s Cancel Culture.
