I've seen the show come up in conversation a lot regarding this. Orange is a bit of a different situation since it was licensed to Netflix from Lionsgate.

Re: Screen Actors Strike 2023
One of the reasons Duchovny left the X-Files was because FOX put the show on FX when it went into syndication so they wouldn't have to pay royalties since they owned the network. He even sued, I think they reached an agreement.

And "Netflix" has also become sort of synonymous with streaming content, even if you aren't streaming it from Netflix itself. IE, you can "Netflix and chill" while you're watching stuff of Disney+ or Amazon Prime. |

Disney characters replace Haunted Mansion stars on red carpet at first major premiere since actors' strike
With none of the film's stars present to hit the red carpet and conduct interviews, Disney called upon some familiar (if unexpected) faces to take their place and celebrate: Disneyland characters. Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Maleficent, the Evil Queen and Cruella De Vil all walked the carpet and greeted the many fans in attendance. |
Re: Screen Actors Strike 2023
Apparently here's the list of demands and the studios' counter (REJECTED!)

Re: Screen Actors Strike 2023
7. Tentatively agreed that performers shall not be requested to audition in the nude or required to do a stunt in an audition. |
Re: Screen Actors Strike 2023
DB Woodside, who was on 24 and Lucifer, sheds a little light on how expensive it can be for an actor to work on a show. If you have to move to a new city to work, you only get a 1-time relocation fee. So if the actor lives in LA and gets a regular job in Canada, they have to pay rents in 2 cities simultaneously. And if they have a car in LA and need one in Canada, they'll have to do the same thing.
I can see how this would be really hard for someone who gets booked as recurring on a show. Lets say they get booked on 10 of 16 episodes, then they have to find a place to sleep and when they don't work for 2-3 weeks, they'll have to fly home and wait until it's their turn to work. That will get really expensive. |

If an actor gets called back to shoot something, they get paid for everyday of shooting that occurred since their last day of shooting. |

Wow, the Healthcare issues for actors and writers is BULLSHIT. Just wow.... If you don't "earn" enough you can't get Healthcare. That sentence should never be heard in America.

What you’re talking about is a series regular who may not appear in every episode, but they will get their contracted salary. |

Constance Marie provides a great explanation on how scanning actors is going to kill the talent pipeline for up and comers. She’s a longtime working actor and is most famous from George Lopez’s show and Selena. |

Yes the fact that most working actors can’t reach the $26K threshold is unbelievable. I follow a working SAG actor on YouTube who does a lot of voice over work, commercials and background work. But she doesn’t have health insurance because it’s not enough. And the residuals are almost nonexistent. She started her own online voice over coaching company that helps her pay the bills. |
Re: Screen Actors Strike 2023
Honestly, reading many of the complaints and the reason why a lot of these items haven't been updated (i.e., who is pocketing the money) is a straight up mirror of our current society no matter what your job is.
It appears the vast majority of the nation should strike, union or not, against corporate America. |

It's like this everywhere....The folks they need THE MOST, like the BACKBONES of their businesses who they can't do anything without... are the ones they FUCK OVER the Most and the Hardest. Make it make sense! Oh yeah... greed, "Share Holder Dick Riding", and simply not caring. |

I was talking about how it might also hurt someone who has a multi episode arc. Erin Cummings got booked on a multi episode arc on the final season of Nancy Drew. She had to fly back and forth between LA and Vancouver on her own dime over multiple months and probably had to book a hotel as well. Take all those costs out of her checks. DB was saying that even series regular gigs you’re not making lots of money. The expenses are enormous and without residuals later on it’s brutal. |

Pedro Pascal got $600K per episode for Last of Us. There's a stink over it because the girl, can't think of her name, only got $70K per episode. Erin Cummings may have to pay for her plane tickets and hotel but she's a multi-millionaire and after personal expenses nets more per episode than most people make in a year. I thought Matt Jones, the guy who played the deadbeat, pothead, ex husband of Anna Faris on Mom would be a good example. Not in every episode, shows up occasionaly, etc. Nope. His net worth is in the millions. |
Re: Screen Actors Strike 2023
Matt Jones is probably better known as Badger on Breaking Bad than a guy on Mom. :lol: He's also a regular on Bob Hearts Abishola, so he's probably doing well on that front.
Actor remuneration can vary a lot, even within the same show. Established actors will almost always make more than the rest of the cast, even if they're not the lead. And if the series run for a long time, the actors can renegotiate higher salaries. |
Re: Screen Actors Strike 2023
SAG-AFTRA has released a list of an initial batch of independent film projects that have signed the guild’s interim agreement, which will allow those movies to continue filming or imminently start filming even as the actors strike against the studios carries on. Among the titles to obtain waivers is “Mother Mary,” which is an A24 and Topic Studios project from David Lowery starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, and “The Rivals of Amziah King,” a crime thriller that stars Matthew McConaughey. Some others of note: “Flight Risk” directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, “Dust Bunny” with Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver, the musical biopic “The Yellow Tie” with John Malkovich, and “Anniversary” with Diane Lane and Phoebe Dynevor. Others that were previously reported include the Rebel Wilson comedy “Bride Hard” and the fourth season of “The Chosen,” the Biblical project from Angel Studios. “The Strike Order extends to productions produced under the Codified Basic and Television Agreements as well as related contracts like the Low Budget Theatrical Agreement, Moderate Low Budget Project Agreement, Ultra Low Budget Project Agreement, and Special New Media Agreements. However, producers that otherwise fall within the scope of the strike order may apply for an interim agreement,” the guild wrote on its website. “Once such applications are vetted and, if approved by SAG-AFTRA, the union offers an Interim Agreement, and the producer accepts it by returning a signed copy. Once that process is complete, performers may render services on that specific production without being in violation of the strike order.” The full list can be found here. Hundreds of film titles have already applied for a waiver from the guild, according to a comment yesterday from lead SAG-AFTRA negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, but the guild is looking for “truly independent” projects that don’t have ties to the AMPTP. It remains to be seen whether actors who are on strike will continue working on these projects while their peers are on strike, even with waivers in hand. While there are just 39 titles on the list at the moment, the list will be updated daily, and the guild is prioritizing titles that have already been shooting, are about to shoot, and have already been cast. As IndieWire reported yesterday, some confirmation letters had already gone out to select projects informing them that they’d be approved to continue filming, even though the interim agreement itself had not been finalized. Under the terms of the interim agreement, indie producers are agreeing to offer cast an 11 percent raise to the minimum salary as negotiated in the previous 2020 deal. It also comes with the expectation that the producers will agree to whatever the new terms of the contract are whenever the strike between the studios and SAG-AFTRA ends. It would be cool to see a lot of big actors taking jobs in smaller productions that they wouldn't normally take. |
