The union representing Hollywood actors announced a strike on Thursday, joining writers who began taking industrial action in May.
The strike by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (Sag-Aftra), which begins on Friday, is the first time in 63 years that Hollywood writers and actors are striking simultaneously.
The action is being taken over wages, AI technology and how to divide digital streaming profits.
If you are an US actor who is striking, we want to hear from you. Why are you taking action and how have you been affected? How do you feel about it? What does the future of your profession look like to you?
We also want to hear from writers about their reasons for striking and hopes for the action.
