The actor Billy Porter said he has had to sell his house as a result of the actors’ strike, according to a new interview with the Evening Standard. After speaking on his music and theatre career, Porter touched on the now month-long strike by the actors’ union, Sag-Aftra, which along with the writers’ strike has ground Hollywood to a halt.
“I have to sell my house,” Porter said. “Yeah! Because we’re on strike. And I don’t know when we’re gonna go back. The life of an artist, until you make fuck-you money – which I haven’t made yet – is still check-to-check.”
