During a SAG-AFTRA protest rally in Times Square on Tuesday, Bryan Cranston delivered an impassioned speech, addressing the ongoing strike and directing a message at Disney CEO Bob Iger. The rally, known as “Rock the City for a Fair Contract,” saw hundreds of striking SAG-AFTRA members and union supporters gathering in New York City.
According to Variety, Cranston’s speech emphasized the importance of preserving the dignity and right to work for actors, despite the changing landscape of the entertainment industry. He expressed concerns over the potential threat of artificial intelligence taking away jobs and reducing casting costs, a key issue in the negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
