Donald Trump has appointed actors Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as special ambassadors for Hollywood. Their mission: to help revive the California film industry. This move comes as Hollywood has faced increasing competition from foreign markets in recent years.

The president-elect says the envoys will bring foreign business back to Hollywood but it's unclear what their roles will involve.

Mel Gibson said he was surprised to learn that he will serve as a special envoy for Hollywood to President-elect Donald Trump. On Thursday, Trump also said Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight would serve in that position.
