YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe end of the SAG-AFTRA strike hinges on final approval from guild members — but it is, without a doubt, good news for those who earn their living in the entertainment industry (and for those, like me, who write about it). NY Post TV Editor Michael Starr shares this story.
After 118 days on the picket lines, it’s back to work for actors, directors, crew members, etc., and a return to some level of normalcy (we hope) after nearly four months of off-air turbulence — and oft-rancorous talk between SAG-AFTRA (in the person of its president, Fran Drescher) and the major Hollywood studios (AMPTP).
It’s a rinse-and-repeat following on the heels of the writers’ guild (WGA), which ended its strike in early October after five months as TV scribes headed back to their writers rooms to crank out late-night monologues or plan for new episodes of their series.
“I’m thrilled it’s over,” former “Parks and Recreation” co-star Jim O’Heir told me from Kansas City, where he’s starring in a play (“Catch Me If You Can”) during his strike-enforced downtime from television. “My heart goes out to the local line workers who were affected by this nightmare,” he said. “They haven’t been working and some of them don’t have people protecting them. So I’m happy for them we’re all going back.
“That’s all we wanted to do,” he added. “I was on the picket line a lot and nobody out there was like, ‘This is so much fun!’ It sucked; I’m a big guy and having to walk around Disney … it was like a mile around the place.”
