The Oscar-nominated actor and activist James Cromwell, best known for starring roles in Babe and The Green Mile, has been sentenced to a week-long stint in jail. He had refused to pay a fine in relation to a protest against a proposed power plant being developed in Wawayanda, New York.

Cromwell, who has also appeared in Six Feet Under, American Horror Story, The Young Pope and the upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, was one of six protesters who staged a sit-in at a Competitive Power Ventures power plant in November 2015. They were arrested on-site, and later claimed during their trial that their actions were justified as the plant would cause irreversible damage to the local environment, along with further accelerating climate change.
