By Ariba Bhuvad
When Jeffrey Wright, Ed Harris, and other HBO stars tell you to Rock the Vote–you do it!
Rock the Vote is in full swing for Election Day 2018 as HBO gathers stars from their various shows to encourage everyone to get out there and vote in the midterm elections. From our beloved Westworld, Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright are presenting the series and we feel inspired by their words and what they have to say.
The partnership between HBO and Rock the Vote is designed to motivate young voters to get out there and cast their voice by using pop culture. A short video was created with stars from shows like Westworld, Game of Thrones, Girls, Sex and the City, plus more.
Hearing their excitement and encouraging words would inspire anyone to get out to a polling place STAT. I mean, when Harris or Wright or even George R.R. Martin tell you to go vote–you vote. So who all is in the Rock the Vote video? Check out the list below:
- Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex and the City and Divorce
- Insecure‘s Yvonne Orji
- Westworld‘s Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright
- Silicon Valley‘s Thomas Middleditch
- Lena Dunham of Girls and creative mind behind Camping
- George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones creator

Pretty stacked group of people, right?
The video (which you can peek at below) is part of HBO’s production that was released on National Voter Registration Day to promote individuals around the country to register to vote. The movement is such a big part of the company that CEO Richard Plepler has asked employees to take time out of their work day to go and vote.
