This is Day 112 of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Striking actors in New York City hit the picket lines in extra layering Thursday with the weather turning colder and their union’s strike against studios and streamers extending into its fifth calendar month.
Amid reports of progress in the talks out west between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, picketers spotted Thursday outside AMPTP member company offices in Manhattan included Annabella Sciorra, Terry Kinney, Kelly AuCoin, Glenn Fleshler, Stephen Kunken, Carrie Gibson, Michael Cyril Creighton, Frank C. Williams and Stephanie D’Abruzzo.
Actors said that they are doing their best to balance hopes for a settlement — which have been dashed before — with managed expectations while most continue to go without paying work.
“It’s a fine line,” Gibson, a SAG-AFTRA strike captain who had a recurring role on Max’s Barry, told Deadline at a picket outside NBCUniversal headquarters at Rockefeller Center.

This is Day 86 of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
A themed picket that focused on first responder TV shows attracted the likes of James Pickens, Jr, Jason George, Caterina Scorsone, Harry Shum, Jr, Chandra Wilson and Kim Raver to Warner Bros. Friday in Burbank.
“Some of us have been fortunate enough to have gigs that have given us a certain amount of comfortableness, if that’s a word,” Pickens Jr, who plays Dr. Richard Webber on Grey’s Anatomy, told fellow strikers. “This strike is about the rank and file, about the majority of actors who are just trying to make enough to get health benefits, to make a living wage. The business model has changed. We have to be a part of that change. It’s about equity, it’s about what is fair. We are not going to stop here. We are going to continue until they listen us.
