'Matilda' star Mara Wilson, 'Orange Is the New Black' cast member Kimiko Glenn, and more actors are revealing how little money they make as the SAG-AFTRA strike rolls on
Numerous cast members from “Orange Is the New Black” told The New Yorker that they were paid very little while working on the hit Netflix show.
Their union scrapes so much off the plate, there’s never anything left for us carnies. Us carnies have leadership that is beholden to banksters and I suspect an old Boys club. Last contract, most of the union got finger-wagged out of calling a strike.
The studios pulled all kinds of crazy shit. They went after the kid who had an Instagram that suddenly had us carnies in an uproar with 60,000 followers that had “iastories” about the hazards of our unusually long shifts (18 hour days), work conditions, pay, etc. When our leadership announced we would vote on a strike, suddenly iastories Instagram stopped allowing comments on their stories which were suddenly very pro-contract. It eventually came out that the studios had contacted the kid and convinced him that he might not want to ruin his career.
