Props to Greg Grunberg, who, as far as I can tell, is the only person in Hollywood to actually say anything against Polanski.

I'd love know about others, of course.

ETA: And Kevin Smith (hopefully atoning for the prison rape jokes in Mallrats). That's 2! Let's keep them coming!

Woot! Grunberg is also an activist for epilepsy and seizure disorders, so I am liking him more and more.

Apparently Kevin Smith has also spoken in favor of the arrest. Good for him.

I've heard that, but my Google-fu doesn't provide me with any evidence to back it up. Let me know if you find a link!

"Polanski-admitted raping a 13 yr old-whys every1 in the arts upset hes facing jail? cause hes a gifted director? what am i missing?" asked bewildered singer-songwriter Jewel via Twitter.

Also chiming in was The View's Sherri Shepherd.

"Whew...long day at The View...two shows today...hot debate over the Statutory Rapist Polanski. 45 year old man plies a 13yr old w/drugs & Liquor and anally & orally penetrates her w/o her consent is a RAPIST," she tweeted. "We hunt down 75 year old Nazis. We must protect our children."
