Hollywood actors to join writers in strike against studios, streamers

Union leadership representing film and television actors voted to go on strike beginning Friday after negotiations with Hollywood studios and streaming services failed to produce a deal. “We are the victims here,“ said Fran Drescher, the former “Nanny“ star who is now president of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, at a news conference Thursday. “We are being victimized by a very greedy entity. I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us.“ Actors will join members of the Writers Guild of America who have been on strike since early May, essentially bringing all Hollywood production to a halt.
