“I do not support striking.
I don’t.”
EW has reached out to representatives for Amell.
Amell was referring toHeels,which made its season 2 premiere on July 28.
This entails any pop in of promotion, including red carpets, premieres, or interviews about the project.
Thus, Amell was denoting his frustration with his inability to promoteHeels.
Amell’s appearance at GalaxyCon itself is a grey area when it comes to strike rules.
It does, however, allow for appearances at conventions operated independent of the struck companies.
“You should avoid discussing characters you played on struck work or your work for struck companies.”
Representatives for SAG-AFTRA did not immediately respond to EW’s request for clarification.
