Actor, writer, director, and Oscar winnerGeorge Clooneyis offering support to his colleagues on the picket line.
“Actors and writers in large numbers have lost their ability to make a living.
For our industry to survive that has to change.
For actors that journey starts now.”
The Writers Guild of America, meanwhile, has been striking since May 2.
“It came with great sadness that we came to this crossroads.
But we had no choice.
We are the victims here,” said SAG-AFTRA presidentFran Drescherin a press conference on Thursday, July 13.
“We are being victimized by a very greedy entity.
I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us.
I cannot believe it, quite frankly.
How far apart we are on so many things.
They stand on the wrong side of history at this very moment.”
