took center stage with a walk and rally in support of the actors in Chicago on Thursday.About 120 people gathered in front of Buckingham Fountain on Thursday with one goal: to make their voices heard when it comes to what they call fair pay.
Many of the actors at the rally said they are in the middle to lower class when it comes to their wages, and that is what the strike is all about. They added that the residual structure for streaming services isn't good enough for actors. Without a firm residual structure, it's hard to make a living.
