Actress Kimiko Glenn from \u201cOrange Is the New Black\u201d shared a video on social media of her opening a residual check for only $27.30. Glenn appeared in 44 episodes of the series, but she still only gets that small amount of money as a residual payment. Many actors need acting for their income and if the main characters are getting that small amount of money, small characters and extras are also getting paid an extremely small amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Actor Sean Gunn, who played the iconic character Kirk on \u201cGilmore Girls,\u201d was out protesting on the picket line. Gunn explained \u201cI was on a television show called <\/em>Gilmore Girls for a long time that has brought in massive profits for Netflix. It has been one of their most popular shows for a very long time, over a decade. It gets streamed over and over and over again, and I see almost none of the revenue that comes into that.\u201d He is referring to how Netflix takes away money that used to be given to actors and writers. Other streaming services and companies in the industry that have been criticized are Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Sony, Amazon, Apple and Disney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This strike has already taken a noticeable toll on live television. For example, \u201cSaturday Night Live (SNL)\u201d stopped airing live on May 2 because the writers of the show went on strike. Many other late-night television shows, such as \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,\u201d \u201cLate Night with Seth Meyers,\u201d \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert\u201d and \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d have had similar fates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is becoming apparent how the strike will greatly influence television and movie production. The film adaptation of Colleen Hoover\u2019s \u201cIt Ends With Us,\u201d has had its production stopped and will not continue to film until the strike has been resolved. The writing for season three of the television show \u201cWhite Lotus,\u201d which is set to take place in Thailand, had to be paused because the writers went on strike. The cast of the television show \u201cAbbott Elementary,\u201d is standing strongly with strikers and will not return to work until the strike is over. The live adaptation of Disney\u2019s \u201cLilo and Stitch\u201d and the fifth season of \u201cStranger Things\u201d have both been delayed by the strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soon fans will see the effects of the strike when television shows and movies began being released sparsely. Although the strike may cause many delays in the entertainment industry, it is important to stand with the writers so they can get the pay they deserve for their important work in the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although you may not see the effects of the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Actors (SAG-AFTRA) strike, they will be prominent soon since production has been halted.
