Isidora: I was a background actor. For a long time. It's how I got my SAG card. It's how I was able to work my way up this crazy hollywood ladder. did you know that they want to start SCANNING background actors so they can just digitally multiply them and insert them into scenes using Al? Scenes that require background actors means extra crew! extra hair, make up, wardrobe, catering...the list continues for crew members. Not to mention the number of background actors who will be out of work with this shit. This industry is a team sport. we are out here fighting for everyone across labor lines.
Out of the over 160,000 members roughly 87% still don't qualify for health insurance because they can't meet the contract requirements! (Hi! I am one of those people. Weird to think that just a few years ago my face was on the side of the WB building and then I got my insurance stripped from me in the middle of a pandemic 2 months before I gave birth) anyway. I LOVE this job.
And I love every single crew member that I get to meet along the way. we are all in this together.
