why do you think studios, yvette nicole brown, are not meeting your demands?want to say that. it's funny to me. i want to go back to what we was said before i came on, the idea of unrealistic expectations. those of us who are in this industry, whether we are writers or actors, we started despite dreaming and having unrealistic expectations. so, you are talking to the dreamers. so, we are continuing to dream that we can have a life in this industry and pay our bills at the same time. call us crazy. we would love to be able to do that. i don't know why they refused to just allow us to make a living wage. and i want to say, over and over -- i've been saying over and over -- this is not about the movie stars and the huge stars you see. this fight is for the rank-and-file actors in the rank-and-file writers, who are just starting out and want to be able to build a career that will last for generations. you can't get there when you are only working on six episodes and you've got eight months to wait until you get your next shot. you can't get there when you have to

let's talk about this, because i feel like, yvette nicole brown was on with us last night.e a great point. people perceive that all of the actors are like her, somebody famous that you know, but most actors aren't. they're working class, as you heard in the clips. how long can they hold out? not the yvette nicole browns of the world but the average actor. >> i talked to my friend, an acclaimed director. most actors are really free-lancers and writers too. they live and get cast on a show. they have a few months they're working. in between, they're kind of living off the residuals, off the savings. that's why the residuals piece is so important. when you're doing a streaming deal, you don't get the same residuals you got when you were doing network deals. that's why the nanny, fran drescher explained the background on the nanny. we were living high off the hog. we were getting so much more money, but now in the streaming era, those residuals are laughable. and it's actually kind of criminal when you stop and think about it. >> it feels like the business changed so much when
