Fucked for so many reasons, but here's
another: My grandma grew up on sets as
a background actor. Would tell stories of
them dressing her at 8 to play a slave in
their lil golden age movies
She kept her SAG insurance up to her
death bc she got to keep working in bg.
This matters
) DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm
The studio's A.l. proposal to SAG-
AFTRA included scanning a
background actor's likeness for one
day's worth of pay and using their
likeness forever in any form without
any pay or consent.

Say what you will about Tyler Perry, I
won't dispute any of it, but when my
grandma was in her 80s she had a bit
role on one of his shows that kept her
insured. AMPTP's complete disregard
of how people survive is so gross
