Morale following the breakdown of the negotiations between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and SAG-AFTRA on Wednesday evening seemed depleted as actors and supporters walked back and forth in front of Hollywood studios, carrying “SAG-AFTRA on Strike!” signs that have been omnipresent at company entrances over the past three months.
Outside of Netflix in Hollywood, there was a lively, crowded atmosphere with DJ Evan Shafran spinning tunes, while multiple members of the negotiating committee were present. Duncan-Crabtree-Ireland gave a short speech, while “one day longer/one day stronger” chants rang through the air.
Presence at studios like Amazon, Sony, Disney (which hosted a pumpkin carving and bracelet-making station) and Warner Bros., however, seemed more muted than on many other days: no bulging crowds spilling into the streets, and fewer food and coffee trucks than before. It was comedy day on the Warner Bros. picket line. There were...

As hundreds of black-shirted SAG-AFTRA performers joined Writers Guild of America members outside Netflix’s headquarters for the first day of a historic Hollywood labor double strike, the first in more than six decades, actor and professional DJ Evan Shafran had the volume pumped along Van Ness Ave. He’d queued up his remix of Hall & Oates’ “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do),” its apropos chorus underscored by a clip he’d sampled from a breaking TV news report about the strike going into effect after the union couldn’t agree to a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. As he periodically upheld one of his amplifiers, like John Cusack in “Say Anything,” toward the streaming giant’s office across the street, marchers urge him on: “You’re killing it, dude.”

While ‘90s or musical-themed pickets may have helped maintain WGA morale during the first 73 days of their strike, the writers got a much bigger lift on Friday as actors joined them on lines across Los Angeles.
The first official day of the historic SAG-AFTRA strike brings with it the promise of A-listers from the 160,000-member group — or, at the very least, union leader and ascendant folk hero Fran Drescher — as two of Hollywood’s most significant labor groups picket alongside one another for the first time since 1960. Demonstrations were again held at 10 sites around L.A., on a day with temperatures set to climb to 95 degrees in some parts, though Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery were among the bigger targets for crowds. (In New York, where members of WGA East have been picketing for nearly three months, actors joined writers at robust lines in front of Netflix HQ and the Paramount offices in Times Square.
