Hey proxies,
I was replaced as Soldier 11 because I am unwilling to perform work not covered by a SAG Interim Agreement during a strike for AI protection, the outcome of which will determine the future of our industry.
Any other theories that pop up are incorrect.

Mar 12, 2025 03:56I'd like to clarify that there's a difference between being "struck" and not being on an Interim Agreement. Union projects that began work prior to the strike & non-union projects are not "struck." But they also do not offer the Union-enforced AI rights we are fighting for.

Many actors are choosing to voluntarily withhold work on these categories of projects because we feel it is the best way to support the Union's fight for the protections that are critical to our continued ability to create the art we love.

I knew that by withholding work it was possible I'd be replaced, though of course I hoped they would choose to leave her silent until I was able to return. I found out the role was recast today alongside all of you.

I loved working on ZZZ & would have been thrilled to return to the project post-strike or with an Interim Agreement. But I stand by my choices regardless of the outcome. All my best wishes to the cast and the production team.
Thank you for a great ride proxies. ❤️🔥
