Actors are frightened little children.
Fair play doesn't pertain in bargaining. What matters there is leverage.
We really are looking for a fair deal and believe there is one to be made here. We were there for them while this business was growing and are hoping they'll be here for us now.
The sharp increase of product placement in film and television too often takes place without any compensation to the very performers that are expected to push those products -- and more often is done without any consultation with those performers and their representatives. It is time for producers to work with artists on this issue, and the best way to do that is to establish a cooperative code of conduct that will protect the artist, the viewing public and advertiser-supported, free television.
The statistics this year are again disturbing and the industry must begin to address this downward trend.
I really feel a need to do something for my fellow actors,
They want to form partnerships with our employers rather than stand up and fight for our fair share. What we want to do is stay at the bargaining table and go for the best deal we can get.
A lot of the single moms just living paycheck to paycheck are finding it difficult.
This is a significant and well-deserved victory for the many actors who work under this contract, specifically day performers. I'm proud of the work done by our negotiating committee and staff, who were able to improve this contract for the first time in two decades. This demonstrates that producers and performers can work together to achieve results that benefit both sides and keep our industry moving forward.
