> Is there anything people in the entertainment industry can do? Can actors, writers, directors, producers, etc. refuse to create any more content for Disney until Kimmel is reinstated?

Any but the very biggest/most prominent ones have zero leverage in this. Disney can easily say, “you don’t want this job? No worries: a thousand other talented people do. You are not unique, and we don’t need you.”

And, even the most prominent stars may well be leery of taking a public stand, and getting their careers cancelled, too.
