I don’t know if he qualifies as part of the “Jewish Entertainment Industry” but Cantor Dudu Fisher’s refusal to accept a starring role in a popular Broadway musical until they let his understudy sub for him on every Shabat and Yom Tov is a massive kiddush HaShem. It is even more impressive than Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax refusing to play baseball on Yom Kippur because Fisher refused to perform at least once every week. And Fisher has never been invited back for another Broadway role.
