WHY THEY STRIKE: Sean Astin (SAG), Member of the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Committee & Actor on Lord of the Rings
"They're paying us late. At Universal. And Warner Brothers. And Disney. And Amazon. And Hulu. And Netflix. Are you kidding me?"
Sean Astin makes an impassioned speech on the SAG picket line. Today, August 13, 2023 marks 30 days since the start of their strike (July 14, 2023).
Obsessed with the fact that Sir Ian McKellen showed both Sean Astin and Martin Freeman explicit fanfiction and fanart respectively of their characters while filming lord of the rings and the hobbit. Absolute king shit. Love that he just did that.
