Jane has more on the WGA strike.
It's useful opportunity to remind people that while residuals for writers are a matter of fairness and appropriate compensation, residuals for actors - something the SAG will deal with - are even more critical. Image is important for an actor, and continuing to show and reshow your previous work can impact your ability to find new work. Think Ed O'Neill (Al Bundy) trying to get "serious" - or any - roles with Married With Children repeats on 24/7. Residuals at least provide some compensation for that.
