Bridger Zadina
- ... that actor
Bridger Zadina grew up on a llama farm in Northern Wisconsin? Source:
Growing up on a llama farm in northern Wisconsin is far from the standard preparation for life in Hollywood.
- ALT1: ... that actor Bridger Zadina became a national champion llama exhibitor when he was eleven years old? Source: At age 11, Bridger was named a national champion llama exhibitor.
- ALT2: ... that actor Bridger Zadina guest starred as a transgender teen on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and he was able to cry on camera by thinking of his horse and pet llama? Source: The nine-day shoot called for hours of raw emotion. In an episode called "Transitions" to air on NBC at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Bridger plays Hailey, a boy who begins to understand that he's really a girl trapped in a boy's body. The original script called for one crying scene, "but somehow, we were able to turn that into five or six scenes," Bridger said. He drew on experiences from his own life to call up that emotion.Thoughts of his horse and pet llama in Poplar helped bring him to tears for one scene.

- Why is environmental activism attributed to 2 newspapers? A search turns up similar descriptions in many. Is there any way to explain what Zadina is doing with Frye using any of the news sources? Rjjiii ( talk) 19:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- ALT1 is good; ALT2 is good; and the crying part of ALT2 is good. ALT2 seems partly about the fictional portion of the show. The article makes it clear how crying is related to transition, but I don't think the connection is clear otherwise. Rjjiii ( talk) 19:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Rjjiii: Thank you for the review. It seems unclear how he has become an activist. I can erase the sentence if it is problematic. Regarding ALT2 he had to cry in real life to make the scene so it is tied to real world. Is there any specific change that you want to see?

- @ Bruxton: I would say cut it for now then. I tried to find something concrete, but even the really in-depth articles with quotes from him [1] don't seem to say what he is doing. Regarding ALT2, I could see that, it's not my preference but I'll pass all 3 hooks and let the promoter pick. Rjjiii ( talk) 23:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
