Many people believe all actors are millionaires and their lives are these eternal holidays in luxurious yachts celebrity magazines shove on our faces. That couldn't be further from the truth. Most actors are hardworking people, barely making a living and grinding for the love of acting.


Writers and Screen Actors Guild's strikes are trying to protect those actors; in other words, they are standing behind most of us.


In today's episode, I share my views on the Writers and SAG-AFTRA Strikes and why you should join the Screen Actors Guild. You'll also hear about the importance of defending actors' and actresses' residual income, the dangers of the dysregulated use of AI, and more.

  • Why you should care about the Writers and Screen Actors Guild strike (2:10)
  • The use of AI to replace actors (6:00)
  • Why defending actors' residual income is crucial (7:20)
  • Don't turn into a couch potato during the strike (11:00)
