Li'l Sebastian Delights Fans With Picket Line Cameo
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Many members of the Parks and Recreation cast hit the picket line in front of Amazon Studios in Culver City, Calif. yesterday, including the infamous—and long-thought-dead—mini horse Li'l Sebastian.
The Pawnee Parks Dept. reunited for the cause, with Nick Offerman, Sam Elliott, Aubrey Plaza, Retta, Ben Schwartz, Adam Scott, Jim O'Heir, and more present. Plaza reportedly brought local celebrity Li'l Sebastian—otherwise known as Gideon—along as a special guest, and fans couldn't contain themselves over the bit.
Schwartz shared a series of photos on Instagram featuring the fan-favorite, writing, "Lil Sebastian made a rare public appearance to support the #sagaftrastrike #wgastrike alongside some people who understand how amazing he is."
"Of course Lil Sebastian wouldn’t let death keep him from supporting you all ❤️," one person quipped in the comments, referencing the character's tragic death in the third season.
"Lil Sebastian out did Jesus in the resurrection game," another joked on Twitter.

And as others added, "he is the moment" and "always on the side of right," though we understand that not everyone gets it.
Everyone: Excited to see Lil Sebastian

Members of SAG-AFTRA have been on strike for nearly a month, while the WGA is well into its third, surpassing the length of the infamous strike of '07-'08. There currently seems to be no end in sight as the two unions fight for fairer compensation in the streaming age, with folks like Kevin Bacon, Mariska Hargitay, and countless other names publicizing their support for the strikes.
