Elizabeth Olsen, Brett Goldstein, and more celebrities are throwing their support behind the WGAStrike. See what they're saying:
Some of Hollywood's biggest names are beginning to speak out in support of the striking Writers Guild of America, who chose to withdraw their labor officially on Tuesday. Variety received statements from a number of creatives in Hollywood, both at and away from the picket lines, supporting those who are striking.
Actors showing solidarity with the writers have included the likes of Elizabeth Olsen, Brett Goldstein, Rob Lowe, Amanda Seyfried, Brian Tyree Henry, Gabriel Luna, and John Leguizamo - many of whom are also writers themselves - while Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse writers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Dopesick writer, and director Danny Strong and Mrs. Davis writers and producers Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez are also backing them.

On Tuesday, members of the WGA began picketing in both Los Angeles and New York City, gathering in large groups outside studios including Fox, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Paramount Global, NBCUniversal, and Warner Bros., as well as at the Peacock NewFronts in Manhattan. Check out a selection of statements below.
“The guild is being reasonable and fair. Young writers are very vulnerable. Pay is declining as business is growing. The numbers prove it. There is a fair deal to be made. The sooner the studios get serious about making one, the better for all of us.” “We need to reimagine structurally how people of all levels can continue to make a living now that we have these streaming services. Actors who used to be able to live off residuals — can’t anymore because they get paid for one day.
