Mandy Moore, like many other famous faces, joined the picket lines this week to support the SAG-AFTRA strike that commenced on Friday after the actors union and the major studios and streaming platforms failed to reach a deal on a new contract
One of main points of contention that the union – which represents about 160,000 Hollywood actors – are at odds with the streamers over is that of streaming residual payments, a topic that the “This is Us” star weighed in on this week. “I want to bring a bit more clarity to a very nuanced issue.
” “I’ve had very lean years where I couldn’t get a job and those are precisely the moments when in years past, actors could rely on residuals from their past work to help them get by,” she said, adding “the world and business have changed.” SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher has spoken at length about the issue of streaming residuals since the strike commenced on Friday.
