Jamie Lee Curtis and Bob Odenkirk show support for actors' strike On Thursday, it was announced that 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members - from big stars to background actors will be joining the Writers Guild of America in a strike, marking the biggest shutdown of Hollywood since both unions last went on strike together in 1960. Curtis, 64, took to Instagram to champion the strike by posting a photo of the comedy and tragedy masks. ”It looks like it's time to take down the MASKS. And pick up the SIGNS.” Odenkirk, 60, responded to footage of SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher slamming Hollywood studios stating how they "plead poverty that they are losing money left and right when they give $100 millions to their CEOs”. "Holy Cow. Go Fran Go! This was a powerful statement. I stand with Fran and everyone in SAG and WGA in this extended moment…onwards." Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon also sent out messages of solidarity, tweeting: ”The @sagaftra strike has at last arrived. I am proud to be standing tall with the @WGAWest and @WGAEast as actors and writers together demand a fair share of the record-breaking profits the studios have been reaping from our labor for far too long. We will win this!” SAG-AFTRA members have been ordered to stop any work connected to productions, including red carpets, interviews, and promoting their projects on social media.
