Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney at On Call Ultimate Crossover Event Protest at FOX in LA ( July 20th, 2023) x
There has been a running joke in Hollywood of fans mixing up Dylan and Dermot. Which actor is which. I love that these two played on that at the start of this clip.
Another picture of Dylan and Dermot from WGA West VP Michele Mulroney : " Rare sighting of the Dermot-Dylan-McDermot-roney at Fox today! @WGAWest / @sagaftra solidarity! #1u "

FBI MOST WANTED
For FBI: MOST WANTED showrunner David Hudgins, this marks his second strike. The first time, in 2007, he was a co-producer on FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. Now, “it’s really interesting to be going through this…where I’m a showrunner and I’ve been doing this 17 years longer,” he explains in the video below. “The issues to me are incredibly important.”
Hudgins acknowledges that some of the bigger issues impacting writers are in the streaming world, “but I’m here for basically the younger writers—the people down below,” he says. “Because we got to give them the chance to make a living…it’s not fair. And I think about what they’re dealing with now versus what I was dealing with back then. And something needs to change. And I think now is the time…we’ve got all these people out here, and nobody has relented.”
While arguments have been made online that people should just accept their one-time initial payment for the script or acting performance—a specious argument considering the revenue syndication continues to bring in for the studios—Hudgins shares how he explained it to his family: “If you write a play, you keep the copyright; if you write a book, you keep the copyright. If you do television or film, it’s a work for hire, you don’t own the copyright and the compensation for that is a residual. And they’re not paying enough. So it’s gonna take something like this to get them to come to the table, I think. And we’re not going to stop until they do come back to the table.”
