However, there will be one key cast member who will not be making an appearance to the ceremony

And thats Forrie J. Smith, who plays ranch hand Lloyd Pierce on the show.

He admitted via an Instagram post (that has since been deleted), that he will not be attending the ceremony due to their COVID vaccination requirements, as hes not vaccinated.

He noted that he hasnt ever been vaccinated since he was a little kid, and believes it hurts your natural immunity. He also added that he had no intentions of offending anyone, it was just his personal beliefs:

I want to apologize to yall for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I mean no offense to anyone. Im not vaccinated, and its a requirement to be vaccinated.

Im not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated. I havent been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I dont vaccinate my dogs, I dont vaccinate my horses. Ive never had a flu shot. I never will.

I believe they compromise your immunities Its just my beliefs. I just dont believe in that stuff. Whatever.

The awards show is requiring its attendees to be vaccinated, along with having a booster shot and a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the event.

Theyve also asked attendees to wear KN95 or KF94 masks specifically.
