(FOX BUSINESS) — Actor John Ratzenberger is best known for playing roles like Cliff Clavin on “Cheers” or voicing “Hamm” the piggy bank in “Toy Story,” but his current passion is talking about skilled labor jobs and making sure people, especially younger generations, still have the ability to fix and build things.

The actor spoke to Fox News Digital this week about the importance of trade jobs and skilled laborers in society, which he says are not as valued in the public eye as they used to be.

“I’m trying to save civilization because civilization was built by people,” Ratzenberger said about the importance of speaking up about the need for these manufacturing jobs or these labor skills in the U.S.
