People think actors are all rich. We are not. I rent my home + had to close my savings accounts on Monday to consolidate $ so I could pay my rent. No retirement funds, a kid in college, etc... and I'm one of the lucky ones! #ActingIsNotAHobby #SAGAFTRAstrong

This is a painful chapter in the lives of artists everywhere. Most actors & creatives don’t make millions. Many who make magic on-screen struggle to make ends meet. It’s easy to take this for granted at the top. We can’t have art w/o a sustainable future for artists. #SAGAFTRA

the executive at the big studios are so ridiculously out of touch it’s beyond parody at this point

For the record I call out Carol Lombardini as culpable for the LA economy about to suffer losses to the tune of 20-30 million a day. (Figure not confirmed). Her sole job is to negotiate a deal between her AMPTP old white boys and the unions. She has failed miserably.

I can’t say who, but I found out yesterday an Oscar-Nominated and Tony Award winning writer is homeless, with their life in shambles, selling off anything they can to survive. This is where we are.

The greed is almost a legendary comic trope - one fun fact - when I was a youngin- I did a film (with a boom box ) and somehow I got points - net not gross. Never expected to see any money - but the film became quite famous - so about 10 years ago - I looked again at

“You cannot change the business model as much as it has changed and not expect the contract to change.” #SAG #AFTRA #WGA #UnionStrong

If you aren't involved in the film/TV industry (mainstream or indie), then you don't know how vile some of the shit that gets said about the folks who make your favorite TV/movies is. We support labor movements because we support people. The CEOs don't see workers as people.

UBCP MEMBERS PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAILS! Everyone else: have a nice day 😊

We've won before, and we WILL win again. Union solidarity FOREVER

Neither the WGA or SAG-AFTRA is calling for a consumer boycott right now. If you want to support the strike, we're asking folks to: 1) Boost our message on social media 2) Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports affected workers secure2.convio.net/afa/site/Donat…

I’m no economist, but Netflix lost $18 billion in value yesterday, enough to fund every ask the writers and actors made for 36 years
