Smiley face, you can stand to know, they can do the writer's voice and make a right or say anything. I think we're going to need people that are able to speak the truth. And that's what writers that's what we do. One of the proposal set for 5 a.m. PCP is to take digital likeness of background. Actors for 1, pay them for one day, and they would be able to use that image of that background actor in perpetuity forever. And the after we don't get paid for one day. That's ridiculous. Actors deserve to be paid every time they're on screens.

It's like I want to be back at work. I love writing. I'm going to be writing but we're willing to hold out as long as it takes to take to get a contract at the best Mama's I've ever had. While acting are complete mistake. Our flutes are going for that eighth or ninth cake and you try something completely out of the blue I can ever do that way. I can I'm Blue Line. I I can never improvising and I can come up with something magical and so I think we're going down a slippery, slope as we age. Think of What actors do is simply funny, laugh. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Striking Writers and Actors In New York Weigh In On AI's Impact on Hollywood","description":"Striking screenwriters and actors outside the New York offices of Paramount addressed concerns about how A.I. will affect their jobs in the future.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/PAcU0Gv4/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-07-17T22:33:19.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/PAcU0Gv4.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/PAcU0Gv4/","duration":"PT2M48S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/PAcU0Gv4/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
