He fears a workplace conflict where one person\u2019s accusations can trump the truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m now looking at how to make a contractual requirement in places where I work, because I don\u2019t feel safe.\u201d The contract he envisages, would mean that, \u201cIf anyone in the workplace, man or woman, is accused of saying something, they\u2019re judged by their peers. There should be a committee in the West End \u2026 made up of union members and peers, who hear both cases.<\/p>\n<p>He says law breakers must be dealt with, but often the issues on a film or theatrical set involve various interpretations of what happened on a given day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen several major stars, like Frank Langella and Bill Murray, punished for behaviors that can be interpreted in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>That possibility strikes Rylance as unfair. He also rejects the punitive nature of Cancel Culture at its worst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cancellation culture is too merciless and puritan for me. There should be the option of mediation, the chance for the accused to apologise and to redeem themselves. We cannot, in our human consciousness, decide that someone is past redemption.\u201d Rylance adds: \u201cEventually, love and forgiveness is the only way through.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some actors virtue signal to their hearts\u2019 content but rarely take real-world action.
