SAG actor's strike?

[tielan]

You know, if they end up having an actor's strike, I can think of one way that they could continue filming the show.

Have the characters of all the SAG actors struck by a genderbender and recast them until the strike is over.





What? :D

Having suggested that, I realised that it's possible that they might have brought the 'all female team' in to act as an anchor during the SAG strike.

Frak me, they think they're underpaid?!

Actors should either try their hands at nursing, teaching, etc, etc...they are underpaid *snarls* Hell, actors should try (if it were possible) working during the 20-60s periods (and during the silent movie era), when most actors had no say in what roles they were given, and had to get up at 4am for make-up and finish late into the nights...

They so would not last a day. I'm sick and tired of actors saying how they're underpaid. Yea, getting so many thousand/millions per episode/movie would make me super bitchy as well...*eyeroll*

I believe the argument on which they're striking is not being underpaid, but on being paid when their shows are shown.

Like the Writers' Guild of America last October-December, the chief problem seems to be payment for the making of webisodes, internet episodes, and 'other media'. The production companies believe that actors (like the writers) should do things like webisodes and 'bonus bits' for the internet as a free extra to their work contract. The actors disagree that the extra acting hours are included in their work contracts.

Hee! Fantastic idea. Girl!John is kinda (http://pentapus.livejournal.com/14044.html#cutid1) cute (http://pentapus.livejournal.com/181986.html).


Also: Oh, it's just an SGA actor's strike! You mentioned something about an actor's strike on another post and I thought it was an all actor's strike, as I'm not on the internet much and am therefore woefully uninformed about various goings on. Heh. Now I feel dumb.

No, actually, it's a proposed strike for all actors in the Screen Actors' Guild of America. I believe it's related to the payment of residuals on media shows, much like the Writers' strike was last year.

But since Joe Flanagan and Jason Momoa are definitely members, and David Hewlett and Rachel Luttrell probably are, once the SAG strikes, they can't keep working.

Oh, I see. Dammit, now I'm back to being anxious.

i know that there are probably more out of work actors than there are working but when the public hear actors and strike it just doesn't look good. the immediate thought goes too all those a-listed stars making all this money and you think how dare they want more money.
