Not even my industry, Fran, but your HEARTFILLED PASSION has brought me to tears. Thank you because you speak not just for actors and writers but all of us your fellow Americans... all of us YOUR PEOPLE! Thank you, preciousness. God be with you always 🎉❤

[@nicoleleyba4839]

WE absolutely DO care what is happening and as an American citizen, I am proud to stand with you!

[@skuzad25]

We absolutely DON'T. Unions aren't necessary for entertainment. Teachers, workers, doctors making less than $40,000 aren't striking (yet). Mostly just repeating what some have mentioned here already but Hollywood was only cool when distribution was limited. Now we have connectivity on the horizon. They are complaining about a problem they have the solution for but aren't fixing.

The best part was when she said....You can not live with out us!

[@damofx]

Working in the film industry, this has a domino effect on my career and a devastating one at that. I completely agree with everything she said and applaud the passion she expresses. With OpenAI and all the others that are racing towards the edge of the cliff, they promise their focus is in creating a TRILLION IQ machine that has its interests aligned with humans. That might actually turn out to be true but, which humans?

[@samuelosler1994]

Most actors live paycheck to paycheck, only 1-2% make millions a year, and they're not actors, they're movie or tv "stars" , a whole different world from the working class actor. The average annual salary for a SAG actor is....$38,000 a year

The Death of Hollywood

[@wynton921]

I think they waited too long to strike…

[@marieazrak1951]

Do you think background actors, and the people who do the music and hair and nails and everything else that goes into acting should not get paid do you think it should be the main character side should get paid and not background actors to keep in mind that there are people with disabilities in every different kind of job that you can think of that want to break into a different industry like acting but they are not in charge of their money. Their families are and a lot of them are wheelchair-bound so they might need a ride to the side they might need help getting to and from a job or even auditioning or whatever.

[@samuelnilson9104]

Listen I want all of you to take stand against the strike we will burn every strike sign and strike back at WGA, SAG-AFTRA and AMPTA and make sure the actors have a pay raise and stop Destroy Every AI system in every studio and Lock the strike leader in the basement somewhere with food and water my dog died 3 days ago and I want the strike to stop so I made a decision I’m gonna keep writing comments until all of you fans can join me to stop the strike in Hollywood I go nothing time.

[@jaykeyz9094]

A bit half-hearted when looking at the wealthier actors who have been interviewed, yet easy to understand why. The root is capitalism which strangles distribution of wealth. If you're one of the lucky ones, and I admit that I am one of those people, you recognize that inertly you are striking to reduce your own wealth at a certain point. It's frightening and Is beyond saving in my opinion. Don't think for one minute that if studios could completely replace human creativity using AI, they wouldn't do it. No sympathy for working class people. It's all a business and it's up to you to make the decision which business you want to be a part of in life, some industries are dwindling and you need to look ahead so you don't get caught up unaware and stuck. This post made using framework from the "gpt"

You have so many options because a lot of stuff was shot in advance. From now on, that's off the table. All tv and movie productions will stop. No new seasons of any current show. No more late-night shows. No more promotions, red carpet, fan events, commercials, etc. Eventually, people will want new material.

[@palmshoot]

@@merchantofchaos088 Just to build on this point, if your favorite actor dies before production completes on a current show, the character either has to be written our or the actor has to be replaced with a potentially weaker replacement.

[@merchantofchaos088]

Only 1% of actors are actually wealthy. Most actors need to have more than one job to support themselves.

[@omarholder9036]

As others pointed out to you, most actors aren't that wealthy. There is usually only 1 or 2 big names actor in a movie that commands a marquee salary. All the side characters and extras are making fractions upon fractions of that. On top of that, greedy CEOs found ways to avoid paying the appropriate residuals by claiming that streaming revenues were down and they were losing money, so instead of the thousands of dollars they should be getting for the programs they work on being broadcast worldwide they were getting less. This is about more than actors too. Residuals are to be paid to everyone that works on the film sets as well and if Film companies are using declining streaming revenues to scam their employees out of a significant percentage of their earned wages, while giving themselves bonuses at the end of the years in the hundreds of millions, then this is what you get.

[@merchantofchaos088]
