Mandy Moore has taken to the picket lines as part of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
, after negotiations with major studios and streamers, which are represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers , fell apart over several key issues. for a new agreement were improved compensation and benefits, residuals that reflect the value of their contributions amid the expansion of streaming services, regulated use of artificial intelligence and the issue of self-taped auditions.
"The residual issue is a huge issue," the actress said, explaining that"we’re in incredibly fortunate positions as working actors having been on shows that found tremendous success in one way or another … but many actors in our position for years before us were able to live off of residuals or at least pay their bills."
Following her interview, Moore took to Instagram"to bring a bit more clarity to a very nuanced issue." "Striking isn’t fun. No one hoped it would come to this and I know everyone involved is hopeful for a resolution soon so folks can get back to work. The trickle-down effect felt across so many industries is already devastating.
"I fully acknowledge the profoundly lucky and rarified position I’m in as an actor at this moment, one that I don’t take for granted and one I also don’t assume to be in forever. Ours is a fickle industry and in my 20+ years of being a performer, my career has ebbed and flowed. 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 concluded by adding,"I am one person- a tiny part of our guild- and while I am happy to use whatever platform my past jobs have given me to speak to issues affecting my fellow [SAG-AFTRA] family, I know my experience is my own. Here’s hoping we get a fair contract soon so we can get back to doing the jobs we all love and miss so much."
