Movie and TV Stars Walk The Picket Line: Actors' Strike In Photos

LOS ANGELES, CA — Jason Sudekis was among some of the many A-listers seen on the picket line, as celebrities fight for their future in Hollywood. Today was the first official day of the walkout, marking Hollywood's biggest labor fight in more than 60 years.

Rosario Dawson and other top movie and TV actors joined picket lines alongside screenwriters a day after the dispute brought production to a standstill across the entertainment industry. Sudeikis was among the picketers pressing for progress following the breakdown of contract talks with studios and streaming services. Dawson, star of the film “Rent” and the “Star Wars” TV series “Ahsoka,” joined picketers outside Warner Bros. studios in Burbank.

“Lord of the Rings” star Sean Astin marched with chanting protesters outside Netflix's offices in Hollywood. Also present at Netflix were “Titanic” and “Unforgiven” actor Frances Fisher and “The Nanny” star Fran Drescher, who is president of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

The actors’ arrival energized the picket lines outside Netflix, where music blared and the sidewalks were packed with demonstrators.

Elsewhere, "Once Upon a Time” actor Gennifer Goodwin stood with protesters at Paramount Pictures.

The famous faces of Oscar and Emmy winners will likely be seen with some regularity on picket lines in New York and Los Angeles, adding star power to the demonstrations outside studios and corporate offices.
