Big name – and some not-so-big-name – American celebrities have come together in a video by ‘Unite for America', beseeching Republican members of the Electoral College to ‘vote their conscience' and cast their votes for somebody, anybody, but President-elect Donald Trump.

Well-known faces like Martin Sheen, Debra Messing, and Moby, among a handful of others, pull out all the stops, invoking the Constitution and telling the Electors that they can be ‘patriots' and ‘heroes' by refusing to vote for a ‘demagogue'.

They make it a point to repeatedly state that they are not asking the Electors to vote for Hillary Clinton, but just that they vote for someone who they believe is truly ‘qualified' and ‘competent' enough to hold the Presidency.

This isn't the first time Hollywood has made a concerted effort to derail Trump's ambitions. Before he won the election, a group of actors including Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo appeared in a similar video, urging Americans to vote against Donald Trump – going so far as promising viewers that Mark Ruffalo would get naked if Trump lost. Who would've thought that wouldn't work?
