Cheyenne Jackson shared a poignant tribute honoring Mark Bingham on the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The actor portrayed Bingham, a gay rugby player, in the film United 93 which dramatized the events that took place on United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.

Bingham, along with fellow passengers and crew members, were able to take down the terrorists who hijacked the plane originally en route from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco.

United 93 went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and was the only hijacked plane that failed to reach the terrorists' target that day.

Jackson shared a photo of the hero on Monday with the accompanying caption:

"Thinking of you today Mark Bingham."
"It was a privilege portraying you in the film #United93 and I honor your memory as well as your mother Alice Hoagland’s and all of the souls lost that day."
"#NeverForget"

Viewers of Jackson's post thanked the actor for remembering the hero, and acknowledged Bingham's bravery as well.

Following Bingham's death, his mother, Alice Hoagland, rallied to preserve a gay rugby movement her son had helped set in motion just before 9/11.

The world's largest gay rugby tournament, honorably renamed the Bingham Cup, debuted in San Francisco in 2002.

Hoagland died in December 2020 at 71 years of age.

A lovely tribute to both.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
