‘LOL’ Star Is Serious About Saving Dolphins

In the upcoming Disney flick LOL, Lina Esco plays Miley Cyrus‘ fearless BFF who always speaks her mind. The role wasn’t a stretch for Lina, who constantly looks for opportunities to talk about the cause that is closest to her heart: getting marine mammals out of captivity.

Lina has helped create two stirring public service announcements about how marine parks such as SeaWorld abuse animals and how the parks are responsible for Japan’s dolphin slaughter. One of the ads features a talented group of kids, and the other boasts a who’s who of Hollywood elite.
