Actors Tyriq Withers and Daniel Kaluuya were among the passengers stranded at the Eugene Airport Nov. 13 amid a nationwide grounding of flights.
Passengers' travel plans were interrupted by the grounding which lasted about four hours and was lifted around 5:15 p.m.
Eugene TV station KVAL interviewed the actors at the airport. They told KVAL they were headed back to Los Angeles and had boarded the plane before the grounding.

Withers launched his acting career in 2021. He had a guest role on "Atlanta" and scored roles in the 2025 films "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and the Jordan Peele-produced psychological thriller "Him." He has leading roles in "Reminders of Him," which was released this year and the forthcoming rom-com "Love Love."
Daniel Kaluuya, an English actor, writer and producer, earned a best actor Oscar nomination for his role in Peele's 2017 hit "Get Out" and earned the Oscar for best supporting actor in 2021 for his portrayal of Black Panther Party Illinois chapter chairman Fred Hampton in "Judas and the Black Messiah."
Why Withers and Kaluuya were in Eugene isn't clear. Withers named Kaluuya as someone he'd like to work with in a Boardroom interview posted to TikTok.
