Yes, I do. Work and live in Hollywood CA.....Now what if you hold both producers and SAG membership? The conundrum is the producers want to cut back cost and make a profit and you cant play both sides of the field. Like what 1 writer from HBO recently told me, ‘Im paying this amount of money so I can carry the un-talented hacks that pay their dues’.

So do I.

Every 20 years or so, the producers decide to 'take their ball and go home'. The artists go on strike and everybody loses money for awhile until the producers realize they can't destroy SAG or AFTRA. Even the L.A. Times (AKA -mouthpiece for the Democrats) attacks the actors. They run out of scripts, and can't bring in the talent they want to make their shows. Both parties compromise and everybody loses money,. Actors are 'meat on the hoof' to the producers.

I hope everybody likes Bollywood Hobbit... cause that's what we're getting now.

Outsourced Hobbit.

I will have to disagree with this Nachum. Overall, I agreed with your post but the notion that the industry is running out of scripts isn’t true. The studio execs HAVE the money to buy ANY spec script they want but they are either one, too narrow-minded and lazy to read them and 2, too cheap and dont want another WGA member bitching about their status to the studio execs. Plus the agents in Bev Hills, say CAA, are arrogant pricks.

The talent is abundant too. The problem is the system has been set up due to...politics. Liberal politics.
