Dermot Mulroney made an appearance on “The View” to promote his new Disney+ Marvel series — but he made a dramatic exit and walked off the set during the live taping.

During Friday’s episode of the daytime talk show, Mulroney, 59, staged a walk-off to support the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.

“Since I have such respect for ‘The View,’ a news program with a heart, it was there that I felt comfortable enough to draw attention to the ongoing WGA strike for fair wages and working hours, as I find it incredibly important to continue to support the union,” Mulroney said in a statement to Variety.

The “My Best Friend’s Wedding” star told the ABC talk show hosts that he was going to “symbolically walk off in support of the writers.”

Mulroney had a friendly interview with the hosts and there was no negative tension, the act was simply a sign of support for the writers who are on strike fighting for pay increases and other benefits.

The conversation covered his new series “Secret Invasion,” family, work ethic, his previous roles and longevity in Hollywood.

As he left the stage, the “View” hosts kept their composure and Joy Behar plugged Mulroney’s new series again.

Mulroney’s segment aired exactly as it was taped, and his walk-off remained in the cut.
