James Van Der Beek Instagram – Make no mistake: This strike SUCKS for us. On the heels of a shut-down, with both SAG/AFTRA and the WGA striking at once?? The last time this happened, the SAG president was an actor named Ronald Reagan.
But do you know how many of us voted to authorize it?
98%
Because we know the stakes.
@deadline quoted an anonymous source saying the studios’ goal was to starve us out. To wait until writers start losing their “homes and apartments.”
Now, there are always at least two sides to every negotiation… and some of these issues don’t have obvious, simple solves… but for the sake of every actor, writer, crew member, caterer, designer, hair, makeup, wardrobe, builder, entertainment publication, photographer, publicist, agent, manager, lawyer, teamster, editor, stunt team, intern, soundstage janitor and their families…
Please have some compassion for just how many lives you effect “below the line.”
These two unions have always existed to protect the artists you HAVEN’T heard of – yet. But this time around, the future of these very professions is at stake. This effects all of us.
Thank you for listening ❤️
