"The studios are tone-deaf and greedy, and they need to wake up — because we are the ones that made them rich," actress Frances Fisher, who starred in"Titanic," told the AFP news agency while marching outside Paramount Pictures. "I think that when Bob Iger talks about what a shame it is, he needs to remember that in 1980, CEOs like him made 30 times what their lowest worker was making," actor Sean Gunn, who starred in"Guardians of the Galaxy," said outside Netflix.
"It is time for us to lock down the contracts that are going to serve generations of actors to come. Just like they did in 1960."Protesters came out in force on both coasts for Friday's protests. In Manhattan, 36-year-old actress Casey Killoran told AFP that actors are"just trying to make a minimum wage, a living wage in New York City.But for now, the"double strike" has essentially shut down all US productions, with limited exceptions such as reality and game shows.
