<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Margaret Cho said she turned down a role in the popular gay hockey drama “Heated Rivalry” because it was filming in Canada and she was afraid of being “detained at the border.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 57-year-old comedian and outspoken Trump critic made the comments during a recent appearance on the “I Never Liked You” podcast.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Last year, I got a pilot script for a show that I really loved, but it shot in Canada. I was, like, so scared because I’m so vocal about hating ICE and hating this administration,” she said. “I was like, I will get detained at the border and I will be put in ICE detention if I go. And I was like struggling over it, and I had to talk to all these people about it, and I was super upset, and I said no. And it was ‘Heated Rivalry.’”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Like, it kills me,” Cho added. “And it’s all because of Trump.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She further stated that she asked showrunners about being involved in season two, which is currently in development. “I asked them, we’ll see,” Cho said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The stand-up comedian </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-actress-says-its-time-for-a-trans-disney-prince-princess"><span style="font-weight: 400;">made headlines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2023 for advocating for trans characters in Disney projects. Cho said as much after playing an LGBTQ guidance counselor in the made-for-TV Disney+ movie, “Prom Pact.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I would love to see them everywhere,” Cho said of “queer characters” in kids&#8217; films. “I would love to see trans characters and different types of people in roles of, like, Disney princess, Disney prince, and Disney everything.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think this would be really important and it’s a move towards the future,” she added. “It’s a move towards who we are. I think it’s really admirable and really exciting.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Heated Rivalry,” which became a breakout hit in 2025, follows two closeted hockey players who engage in a romantic relationship. It’s been criticized for featuring graphic sexual content. Despite that, it has been especially popular with heterosexual women.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former first lady Jill Biden was fully prepared to shell out $35,000 for a chance to appear in an upcoming season of the show after </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jill-biden-paid-how-much-for-a-chance-to-appear-in-gay-hockey-show"><span style="font-weight: 400;">bidding on the prize</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> during an LGBT charity auction last month.</span></p>
