"We all want to work, but at what cost, when the salary and the residuals are no longer sustainable for actors?" said Dominic Burgess
Dominic Burgess has been a member of Hollywood's Screen Actors Guild for well over a decade, guest starring in high-profile TV shows from Modern Family and The Good Place to Star Trek: Picard. Like thousands of his peers, the Los Angeles-based British actor stayed awake until the early hours of Thursday to learn whether he would be headed for the picket lines. He now has his answer. Contract talks with studios over better pay and other conditions broke down overnight, and the Screen Actors Guild has formally called a strike.
"I fully support the strike action," Burgess told AFP. "We all want to work, but at what cost, when the salary and the residuals are no longer sustainable for actors?"
