Striking Hollywood actors joined film and television writers on picket lines on Friday, the first day of a dual work stoppage that has forced U.S. studios to shutter productions as workers battle over pay in the streaming TV era. In Los Angeles, actors marched outside the offices of Paramount, Netflix and other major studios, chanting and waving signs.

The twin strikes, the first such joint effort in more than 60 years, will add to the economic damage from the writers' walkout that started on May 2, delivering another blow to the multi-billion-dollar industry as it struggles with changes to its business.

"We are the victims here. We are being victimized by a very greedy entity,” Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) president Fran Drescher said in an announcement on Thursday. “I cannot believe it, quite frankly, how far apart we are on so many things — how they plead poverty, that they're losing money left and right when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their CEOs."

Both SAG-AFTRA — Hollywood's largest union, representing 160,000 film and television actors — and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are demanding increases in base pay and residuals, or fees paid from streaming television, plus assurances that their work will not be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).
