Talks between striking actors and Hollywood studios have been suspended as the two parties remain at loggerheads. SAG-AFTRA said it was presented with an offer that was “shockingly, worth less than they proposed before the strike began.” Unionized actors said they will continue fighting for a fair contract despite the setback. This is negotiating committee member Jason George.

Jason George: “Look, we’re storytellers. So this is the part of the movie where the hero gets knocked down and you think they’re out. And this is the part where you double down and you come back and win the day. We all know that, and we all believe that in our hearts. So, look, we’re actors. We get rejected multiple times a day. We get rejected for stuff we didn’t even know we were up for. So our ability to withstand rejection, to withstand adversity and to stay resilient is more than, I would say, virtually anybody else in this town.”
