"Potential Hollywood Actors Strike: Impact on TV Shows, Movies, and A-Listers"
As the Screen Actors Guild contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers approaches its expiration, more than 1,000 actors have signed a letter urging the union to fight for a better deal, even if it means going on strike. Actors of color, actors with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ actors are particularly concerned about the lack of representation and fair pay in the industry. Issues such as health insurance, pay disparities, and diminishing residuals are at the forefront of their demands. Streaming services and the distribution of profits are also major concerns. Some actors believe that a strike is necessary to bring about change and ensure fair treatment for future generations of writers and performers.
