00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.583
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:08.880
- I think the current writers' strike

3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:09.960
could have been avoided.

4
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:14.730
The riders are not asking for
anything that is too much,

5
00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:19.020
that is too grand, that
is an impossible ask.

6
00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:20.790
I think writers are only asking

7
00:00:20.790 --> 00:00:23.130
to be compensated for
the work that they do,

8
00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:27.000
because there is simply
no shows without writers.

9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.850
You can't do anything without a script.

10
00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:34.800
I think in these rise of
unscripted performances,

11
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.450
we're realizing that we really,

12
00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:38.130
really, really need our writers.

13
00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:42.420
I hope that the mega-billionaire
powers do their part

14
00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:46.380
and shave off a fraction of
a percentile of their profits

15
00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:49.770
and pay the people who
keep their profits so high.

16
00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:51.240
I'm a SAG actor.

17
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.950
I'm in full solidarity of
the WGA, and take your time.

18
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:58.920
I mean, we're not getting our shows back

19
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.450
until writers get compensated,

20
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:03.450
and if it takes 2 more months,
it'll take 2 more months.

21
00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:04.600
I got nothing but time.
