Meanwhile, writer/actor Josh Gondelman addressed the picket outside Netflix/WBD in NYC.
This energy is incredible out here today.
I love seeing everyone out here, he said.
We should not have to be out here anymore.
The studios should be embarrassed we are still out here yelling at them.
So its cautious optimism.
Im so inspired by the numbers of people that have come out.
I was here yesterday as well and was blown away by all of the support.
So well stay out here as long as we have to.
Im crossing my fingers and not holding my breath.
John Carroll Lynch told Deadline expressed some optimism about todays talks.
This is not a circumstance where performers can back down.
A handful of picketers likened the impasse to an internal family disagreement.
You have to come back to the table because youre family, actor Sevans Martinez told Deadline.
And I kind of feel like thats the moment that were in.
Nothing gets done when people dont talk, Hennessy said.
I dont care whether its a family, a country or unions.
As to what will happen, I have no clue, she added.
To be honest, hitting the line is good for my sanity.
I get to hang with my community.
I get to know them better.
And theres a lot of people who are hurting right now.
