On the picket lines with Hollywood's actors and writers, from LA to New York

The sidewalks of Hollywood and midtown Manhattan teemed with actors joining Hollywood's writers in protest outside the corporate offices of studios, streamers, and production companies. It was Day 1 of the actors strike, more than 70 days into the writers strike. On both coasts, there was a buoyant mood in the air Friday as picket lines were reinvigorated by the support of some of the 65,000 actors who comprise SAG-AFTRA. This is Hollywood’s biggest labor fight in six decades, and the first dual strike since 1960. The fervor against studios, networks and streamers were reignited just as a historic heat wave hit Southern California.
