will begin picketing alongside writers in New York and Los Angeles on Friday in what has become the biggest Hollywood labor fight in decades.

The double-barreled strike will shut down the small number of that continued shooting in the two months since screenwriters stopped working.

Many actors made a show of solidarity on the , including Fran Drescher, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists president and former star of 香蕉视频直播淭he Nanny.香蕉视频直播� The union香蕉视频直播檚 65,000-member actors香蕉视频直播� branch will now formally join them as fellow strikers.

The two guilds have similar issues with studios and streaming services. They are concerned about contracts keeping up with inflation, residual payments in the streaming era and putting up guardrails against the use of artificial intelligence mimicking their work on film and television shows.

The famous faces of and winners will likely be seen with some regularity on picket lines, adding star power to the writers香蕉视频直播� demonstrations outside studios and corporate offices.

No talks are planned, and no end is in sight for the work stoppage, the first time both guilds have walked off sets since 1960. During that strike, then-actor Ronald Reagan was SAG香蕉视频直播檚 leader.

Drescher delivered a fiery rebuke of studios and streaming services when announcing union leaders香蕉视频直播� unanimous vote to strike Thursday.

香蕉视频直播淲e had no choice. We are the victims here. We are being victimized by a very greedy entity,香蕉视频直播� Drescher said. 香蕉视频直播淚 am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. I cannot believe it, quite frankly: How far apart we are on so many things. How they plead poverty, that they香蕉视频直播檙e losing money left and right when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their CEOs.香蕉视频直播�

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents employers including Disney, Netflix, Amazon and others, has lamented the walkout, saying it will hurt thousands of workers in industries that support film and television production.

While international shoots technically can continue, the stoppage among U.S.-based writers and performers is likely to have a drag on those, too.

The writers香蕉视频直播� strike brought the immediate shutdown of late-night talk shows and 香蕉视频直播淪aturday Night Live,香蕉视频直播� as well as several scripted shows that have either had their writers香蕉视频直播� rooms , including 香蕉视频直播淪tranger Things香蕉视频直播� on Netflix,香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淗acks香蕉视频直播� on Max, and 香蕉视频直播淔amily Guy香蕉视频直播� on Fox. Many more are sure to follow them now that performers also have been pulled.
