Noah Wyle has been a regular on the picket lines since the WGA went on strike in May (SAG-AFTRA joined them, officially, with their own strike in July).
“I think there’s increased pressure to try and get to an endpoint,” Wyle tells Give Me My Remote in the video below. “These [SAG-AFTRA] waivers really have a big effect on everybody’s morale. [The] decision for Drew Barrymore to keep her show going I think was a catalytic event, and hopefully will bring more people out to remind everybody, those who are working and who aren’t, that we all stand on the shoulders of people who’ve been out here on these lines securing these protections for us to make those livelihoods that we are making.”
