The strike doesn't just keep actors off of sets, but also doesn't allow them to participate in auditions or rehearsals.
Drew Waters and Erin Bethea are both working actors who met on a movie set in 2012. It's a Hollywood love story in real life, but the couple decided to leave Los Angeles and head for the"Hollywood of the South" in Atlanta.
Once in the Peach State, Waters and Bethea got married and opened their own production company, Argentum Entertainment. Then it was in spring of 2021 — amid a worldwide pandemic — that Bethea fulfilled her dream of opening Greenlight Acting Studios. Fast forward to 2023, and actors again are experiencing a different type of shutdown — this one self-imposed.SAG-AFTRA union members now walk the picket line, demanding a new contract with better pay, safeguards from artificial intelligence, and more residuals from streaming services like Netflix and Disney.
Meanwhile, the strike doesn't just keep actors off the set. They're also not allowed to participate in auditions or rehearsals, which means places like Greenlight Studios can't produce audition tapes for actors until the strike is over.
