Wait, if the actors get paid more, doesn't that mean the writers will go back on strike again? That means they get stiffed.

@Shumina:

I am in the industry and barely survived the WGA 100-day war, erm strike. With Rosenass rattling sabres the suits aren't going to listen, everyone is so strike weary, broke and bitter he's not going to get anything with the charge.

Talking nice may not work either, but walking in the door (pretty much) and saying "my way or the strike way" isn't going to win him any friends.

As with the WGA strike, the writers may have gained but the studios didn't lose.

...when I received a check for 63 cents...

With postage at 41 cents for the first ounce, I'd wager it cost them more to send you a check than the actual check was worth.

I was very much anti-strike, until last week when I received a check for 63 cents for a day player role on Entourage. This was for DVD sales. Somethings clearly wrong with the new media payment schedule, when a hit show is sending out such a pathetic residuals. Go Alan!

@strega: Easy pard-ner. No one wants a strike.

Best role he's had? How about the ONLY role he's had. Unless you consider the nepostism involved in his CSI acting.

It makes me laugh that Rosenberg thinks he's speaks for all. Somehow I don't think he's all he thinks he is.

Either way, saving those pennies is a very good idea. Rosenberg could go down as the man who finally broke the union/guilds in Hollywood.

Producers should stand up and say go strike, we'll be here when you get back.
