Stars of Star Trek and its many spinoffs gathered outside Paramount Pictures during the labor dispute.
As Hollywood actors and writers continue their strike against major studios, one special picket line honoredand its many spinoffs. Castmates from the various generations of the show met on the picket line outside the the gates of Paramount Pictures, where they once taped episodes.
Among them was OG Trekker George Takei, who played Lieutenent Sulu in the original 1960s series. He stood alongside LeVar Burton, who played Geordi La Forge inin the 1990s. Burton had a message for studio executives who they've been on strike against: "Y'all are losing profits, hand over fist. And I know that there are meetings happening in backrooms all over this town," Burton said, adding"greed isn't good for any of us. So let's get real. Let's come back to the table. Let's make a fair and equitable deal and let's get back to work."
Takei said actors are struggling to make a living in the changing entertainment industry."We're here to ensure that the young actors coming up, building their careers, will have the incentive to keep on keeping on, rather than giving up and opening up a restaurant or something," he said."We want them to be able to survive on their art of acting. We're here in solidarity to support their careers so that they can enjoy the career that LeVar and I have enjoyed.
