George Clooney Calls SAG-AFTRA Strike 'Inflection Point In Our Industry'

George Clooney is weighing in on the SAG-AFTRA strike and revealing that he is strongly on the side of his fellow actors.

“This is an inflection point in our industry,” George said of the strike in a statement shared with ET. “Actors and writers in large numbers have lost their ability to make a living. For our industry to survive that has to change. For actors that journey starts now.”

If you were unaware, the strike means that all of the members of the union have to follow a very specific set of rules. Additionally, very few TV shows and projects are allowed to film until the strike ends.

We have already seen some of the offers from the AMPTP that led to the decision to strike.
