Here are some “fun facts” from an actor who has been a main character in 120+ episodes of TV in the past 10 years. I... - still do the unpaid labor of self-tapes for every audition (check out @auditionsarework ) - am not a multimillionaire and do not live in a million dollar home/mansion/gated community/luxury condo (or anything close to that). - lost my health insurance through the union last year (because you have to make $26k a year to qualify). The majority of actors in the union are low-income, with the mean salary being $46,960 while over 80% make less than the yearly $26,000 needed to qualify for health insurance. I live a privileged life compared to most people in the U.S. and compared to most actors, but even I have had to wonder about the sustainability of making a full-time living as an actor. The studios are making over $12 BILLION in profit annually, and we are owed a fair share of the work that WE have created. I love being an actor. But, like all workers, we deserve to be paid fairly and to have sustainable careers. I am on strike not just for myself, but in solidarity with those who do not have the privilege that I do. The background actors, the stand-ins, the guest stars, the stunt coordinators/performers, and everyone else who is a part of this union or who hopes to be one day. But also with workers who are a part of every other union (and those who have yet to unionize), that are demanding what they deserve from those that syphon our labor and who are ready to throw us away, bled dry, to maximize their profits. I offer this personal information, not to elicit pity. But for the young version of me that would have looked at my career from the outside and would have imagined a certain level of financial security in having “made it.” To break the spell of glamour and glitz that many actors feel the pressure to uphold for “our image.” Fuck that, I’d rather be real with you. Workers of the world...may we rise up and take what is rightfully ours!!! #sagaftrastrong #sagaftraonstrike」9月20日 3時19分
