'13 Reasons Why' Season 2 Cast and Crew Undergo Anti-Sexual Harassment Training
The cast and crew of "13 Reasons Why" are in the middle of filming season 2 but they recently took a short break from the production schedule to undergo an important anti-sexual harassment training in the workplace. Producers of the show thought it was important to provide the training amid a changing tide in Hollywood with dozens of victims coming forward against powerful men like Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.
Actor Tommy Dorfman (Ryan Shaver) confirmed they had the training sessions and the cast and crew welcomed the producers' decision. It's to ensure that the environment on the "13 Reasons Why" set, which is filled with young people, is a safe place.
"They want to make sure everyone knows that this is unacceptable behavior in our production," Dorfman revealed. "If you ever feel unsafe in any way, do not hesitate to reach out."
