Hollywood actors have joined the writers on strike against the Hollywood studios. SAG-AFTRA announced Thursday that the strike against the film and TV companies begins at midnight on Friday and picketing will start on Friday morning. At a press conference, SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher said, “We are being victimized by a very greedy enterprise. At some point you have to say, ‘No, we’re not going to take this anymore. You people are crazy. What are you doing? Why are you doing this?’”. According to Variety, the former Nanny star said that streaming and artificial intelligence have upended the entertainment industry’s business model, but the SAG-AFTRA contracts haven’t been updated to reflect those advancements. The actors have avoided striking the studios since 1980 and this is the first “co-strike” of writers and actors since 1960.
