Bryan Cranston, and I still have no clue who he is. 😋

Bryan Cranston delivered a fiery speech at a SAG-AFTRA strike rally in Times Square on Tuesday, which included a message directed at Disney head Bob Iger.
“We’ve got a message for Mr. Iger,” Cranston said from the stage of the “Rock the City for a Fair Contract” rally. “I know, sir, that you look [at] things through a different lens. We don’t expect you to understand who we are. But we ask you to hear us, and beyond that to listen to us when we tell you we will not be having our jobs taken away and given to robots. We will not have you take away our right to work and earn a decent living. And lastly, and most importantly, we will not allow you to take away our dignity! We are union through and through, all the way to the end!”
Cranston began his remarks by saying that there is one thing that all the guilds and the AMPTP fundamentally agree on: “Our industry has changed exponentially.”
“We are not in the same business model we were even 10 years ago,” he said. “And yet, even though they admit that is the truth in today’s economy, they are fighting us tooth and nail to stick to the same economic system that is outmoded, outdated! They want us to step back in time. We cannot and we will not do that.”
Cranston was one of a number of stars who took the stage to address a crowd of hundreds of SAG-AFTRA members and union supporters at the rally, with others including Steve Buscemi, Wendell Pierce, Christian Slater, Christine Baranski, Stephen Lang, and Titus Burgess. They were joined onstage by fellow actors Michael Shannon, BD Wong, Brendan Fraser, Jessica Chastain, Matt Bomer, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Corey Stoll, and more.
Burgess decided to forego a speech, instead singing a section of the song “Take Me to the World” from “Sondheim On Sondheim.”
Baranski told the crowd “We will not live under corporate feudalism” while also praising the background actors on shows like “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight,” saying that she attended the rally to speak for them and demand they get fair treatment under any new contract. Slater then spoke about how his father, a fellow SAG member, received support from the union after mental illness and later cancer left him unable to work.
Later on in the rally, “The Bear” star Liza Colón-Zayas told the audience that she has been a union member since 1994 and “struggled for 30 years to finally get here, only to find that my residuals have dwindled exponentially.” She then paraphrased Snoop Dogg by saying “We the artists, our gripe is that we deliver in high numbers, in major numbers. And yet, where the f— is my money?”
What’s that about name-calling and insults ? You seem to lose it every time your pervert hero Zelensky has the truth told about him. You should look into that.
Just a friendly reminder that this is a Conservative website, not a globalist leftist warmongering one. You might try D.U., it’s more your speed. They love their perverts over there, so I hear. Have a nice day.
Russia has an anti-Christisn leader too. He doesn’t like religion, but he makes an exception for Muslims.
Learn to code, Bryan. AI and YouTube are going to replace the Hollywood studio industry.
Nick, don’t be an idiot. Putin’s done more to restore Christianity in Russia than any other elected official. All the while Zelensky leads his failed state in child-sex trafficking and implementing pro-sodomite laws to tear down Christian values and morals to serve as a puppet for globalist Nazi scum.
Sorry but you’re crazy if you’re serious, which I’m beginning to doubt.
Your obsession with Zelensky and faux voice of conservatism lecture is transparent.
Your handlers have briefed you to try and push what you think are the right buttons.
You parrot globalist leftist talking points and accuse others that call you out of being the same on a Conservative website. Try again, Felicia.
The first thing that popped into my head was famous last words.
Really? Did Putin abdicate?
A strong Christian leader would ban abortion and divorce before passing all that gay and trans stuff. Instead, Putin dumped his wife, is living in sin with a Millennial, and lords over a nation with a higher divorce rate than America.
At least he polls well with unthinking folks in America.
These union stalwarts didn’t give a damn when our jobs and prospects were being shipped to China. I see help wanted signs at fast food joints and warehouses every day. They wouldn’t starve if AI shuts down physical Hollyweird.
His great-grandpa probably gave similar speeches about buggy whip and horse harness manufacturers losing their jobs to automobile makers 100 years ago.
It’s called “progress.” A “progressive” (communist) like Cranston should know this.
Yes, AI will, eventually, take his - and many other actors’ jobs - and do them without complaint or strike for more obscenely high pay. And AI doesn’t require adrenochrome.
Just do your job, Bryan. While you still can.
And commercials.
"I can't believe it's not butter".
"It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."
Etc. Etc. Etc.
I’d like to hear what Sean Penn has to say.
Cmon man he a good actor. Hes just a hollywood dbag.
A strong Christian leader? You’re a fool.
Pampered millionaires see themselves as coalminers and steel workers.
Hilarious, and more entertaining that most “work” they’ve put out recently.
Typical NIMBY Leftist. Unlike the Left, though, I’m usually able to separate politics from talent in entertainment and sports with a few exceptions such as the Purple-haired soccer player and LeBron James, who are allowed opportunity to become rich and famous in a country they apparently hate.
Oh, piss off BC.
You are an actor, a paid liar. Don’t try getting beyond that skill set and opinionating (sp?)on issues beyond your IQ.
AI will replace all of writing since that “skill” died years ago. Just look at how the dialog went to ‘Ell in GOThrones. Added to that is the “check the box” crappola on scripting and casting.
You should retain your “image”. Your recognizable face is what you own. Beyond that, nothing you’ve let the public see has been yours.
Your days of being a successful parasite are numbered.
Yup. One of the strongest Christian leaders on the planet.
I know you Zelensky worshippers would squeal like stuck pigs.
