Despite being one of the most booked actors in Hollywood over the past decade, Actor Billy Porter continues to speak out over the SAG-AFTRA strike. Porter, who is a member of the union, said to TMZ that he has
“venom and rage”
for the studios, which he blames for the strike. He also said that he is trying to find
“a little bit of grace”
in the situation.
The strike began on August 18, 2023, and is over stalled negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood studios over issues such as pay equity, diversity, and residuals. Porter has been vocal in his support of the strike, and has also been critical of the studios’ handling of the negotiations.
It remains to be seen how long the strike will last and what the outcome will be. However, Porter’s comments suggest that the actors are determined to fight for their rights.
