Actor and comedian Seth Rogen gave an interview with CNN where he called out senators who chose not to attend his speech on Alzheimer's disease.

Seth Rogen came before the U.S. Senate Appropriation Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services this Wednesday to urge senators to support funding for organizations dedicated to stopping Alzheimer's disease. He gave a heartfelt account of his mother-in-law's experiences living with the disease.

Rogen spoke first of his misconceptions of Alzheimer's, thinking that it was a disease limited to the elderly, and that it mostly manifested itself in small forms of forgetfulness such as lost keys. Soon, the "ugly truth" of the disease became apparent.

"After forgetting who she and her loved ones were, my mother in law, a teacher for 35 years, then forgot how to speak, feed herself, dress herself and go to the bathroom herself," said Rogen.

He went on to talk of how the disease was among the 10 leading causes of death in the country, and that there was no way to "prevent, cure, or even slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease."

The actor's speech garnered a lot of attention online, but the senators he presented it to were unmoved... mostly because the vast majority of the committee didn't stay to actually listen to it. Only two of a total eighteen members were in attendance during the speech.

"I could totally understand if they didn't want to hear the testimony of a stoner, idiot, actor," Rogen joked on CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper." Still the actor was disappointed that the senators didn't get to hear any of the other testimonies that day, most notably fellow congressman Dennis Moore, who was diagnosed with the disease himself.

"The whole point of a plea like that, to me, would be to get the personal connection with the people who were actually making these decisions," said Rogen.

Rogen also took to twitter to air his frustrations. He posted a photo of the empty committee, saying it was" symbolic of how the Government views Alzheimer's."

"All those empty seats are senators who are not prioritizing Alzheimer's," Rogen tweeted. "Unless more noise is made, it won't change."
