With the actors and writers strike in the U.S., I'm reminded of this tweet from John Cho who got zero payment from a residual check.

Q: Why aren’t the studios budging? A: They seem to believe they’ve done enough already. The AMPTP’s statement about the SAG-AFTRA strike on Thursday claims the organization offered “historic pay and residual increases, substantially higher caps on pension and health contributions, audition protections, shortened series option periods, and a groundbreaking AI proposal that protects actors’ digital likenesses for SAG-AFTRA members.” (That “groundbreaking” AI proposal would be the aforementioned suggestion that background actors sell off their likenesses forever.) And as Disney CEO Bob Iger recently put it in an interview that immediately got him scorched on Twitter, Hollywood “is and has been a great business for all of these people, and it will continue to be, even through disruptive times. But being realistic is imperative here.” Q: How much does that guy make again? A: I’m so glad you asked! He just signed a contract extension that brings his annual take-home to $31 million, assuming he gets all his bonuses. I’m sorry, what? To be honest, his salary is kind of embarrassingly low compared to some of the other guys. Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav made $498,915,318 in the past five years, according to the Los Angeles Times; poor Iger only got to $195,092,460. Ted Sarandos, meanwhile, reportedly took home $192,171,581 from Netflix in the past half-decade, and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts got $170,158,088.

Your eyes tell a story. During a headshot session, let the emotion rise naturally; try to think less about the camera and more about the moment you're living in so the photographer can capture the truth behind your expression.

This is why we are striking…

Clearly, major studios are already deploying AI to copy my likeness to make otherwise ho-hum scenes pop off the screen. Can you believe they paid me not a dime for this? (That, or this background actor went in to a plastic surgeon and said, “I don’t care what it costs… Make me look like Misha Collins.”)
