- He will serve seven days in Orange County jail for refusing to pay a $325 fine
- The American Horror Story actor was arrested back in 2015 for "obstructing traffic" during a protest in Wawayanda, Orange County
- The protest was against the construction of a natural gas power plant which the protesters believed would "pose an imminent threat to the local environment and would accelerate climate change"
- Cromwell has a long history of activism stretching back into the sixties when he was a member of the Committee to Defend the Panthers, a group which supported Black Panthers members who had been charged with conspiracy
