Topic	Actors are on strike now? Give me a fucking break.
Compsognathus 07/13/23 6:51:59 PM #23:	Prestoff posted... Are they going on strike for the same reasons the writers are? Basically. Streaming has upended the entire business model for TV/movies and contracts have absolutely not kept up. So both writers and actors are trying to get aligned with it. Particularly in regards to residuals, which for most actors/writers are how they can afford to even live. IdiotMachine posted... These guys and gals get paid literally tens of millions of dollars to act in a movie. What more do they want? The average SAG actor makes like $68k a year, which isn't a ton for the market high cost of living areas they live in. That average is also inflated by small minority of millionaires so the number is below $68k for a most the members. And if you don't want the actors/writers striking for more money? Who do you want the money to go? --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:974820732] in Actors are...
