SAG-AFTRA “Prepared To Strike” Letter Hits 1,000 Signatures

Including Guild President Fran Drescher

Via Deadline:

After it emerged that over 300 actors had written to SAG-AFTRA leadership that they are “prepared to strike” if the guild doesn’t “get all the way there” during talks with the studios, the number of actors signing the letter has more than tripled overnight.

Deadline can reveal that the letter has now been signed by over 1,000 actors, including stars such as Charlize Theron, Joaquin Phoenix, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cobie Smulders and Pedro Pascal, as well as, curiously SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher.

Other names recently added include Paul Giamatti, Bradley Whitford, Rose Byrne, Olivia Wilde, Ewan McGregor, Aubrey Plaza, Rooney Mara and Sarah Paulson.

And the SAG-AFTRA drama continues to play out right up to the end of the contract which is today.

C’mon, actors. Join us writers and let’s really push back against the companies!
