Happy Pride. Hope everyone feels safe and cozy and loved! 🌈
Can we put this on #Tiktok so I can duet this!? I’m sorry y’all but thank fucking god I write and direct and produce in addition to acting because my acting union has me losing faith left and right with its straight up stupidity.
1. First off- our concerns should be VERY similar to the writers. Actors, no longer receive residuals due to steaming. Soooo, we understand that writers deserve residuals but don’t think that actors do!? I die. Also, AI!? Hello
2. Even where residuals are legally deserved (network television, resales etc) sagaftra has ADMITTED that they no longer have the bandwidth to track residuals! I personally have been on a show where the studio just straight up DIDN’T PaY US the residuals we deserved until we opened up an investigation. If you care, the first paycheck after they got caught to series regulars was $13k. $13000 for each of the 10 series regulars (130k+) Actively hidden & notpaid for because studios know they can get away with it. (I only guest starred but I got paid too post investigation)
3. @sagaftra has approved embarrassingly low contracts. $315ish day rate on certain “low budget NETFLIX contracts for a guest star SMh! (And I fucking LOVE Tim Robinson’s sketch show, but miss me with this sh** approved by my union.) Don’t vote to approve that, people, you’d make more serving tables, trust.
4. As the industry is finally casting more diverse actors they are not PAYING them and there are no safeguards against the nonsense. I personally was essentially a series regular on MULTIPLE shows. 9/10 episodes etc (which IS MORE than a fractional series regular) BUT as they disrespect people of color, I was paid as a GUEST star on all said shows (I’m Dying Up Here on Showtime, Hulu’s Chance and NBC’s Champions) that’s not glamorous fam, that’s not living, don’t get it twisted…After manager and agents and taxes, good luck getting a cute premiere dress after u pay the rent on ur 1 bedroom apartment. (You deserve better everyone!)
5. If we don’t protect our futures there will be nothing and we should have gone on strike in 2008.
6. This is ignorant, fear-based bullshit and it’s so embarrassing. I’m sure I’ll add more to this later. 🤦🏻♀️
We interrupt this instagram break to share some #bts from the #truelies “13 part mini series” 😂 (@mikeogorman TM)
2 hour finale tonight. Enjoy some of these slap happy moments. For me, each cast is always a new family collected, some closer than others, and I am forever grateful to have been able to giggle with this special fam, and our lovely crew. I’ve never cried laughing more on and off set with one group of people. What a gift. I’m so lucky. 🤍
Thanks everyone!
It was an interesting time. Let’s not bring it back.

The squad flew to NYC to see our talented friend @tatianamaslany for Broadway’s opening of Grey House, but then our sweet buddy got sick. Can’t wait to go see her kill it in it soon! We love u tat!!
Happy #mentalhealthawarenessmonth. I’ll be off the gram for the rest of May as my #mentalhealth treat. (Unless my assistant posts for me). And if anyone needs any quick reads, my article in @voguephilippines on #mentalhealth is on my grid, I know these are heightened and stressful times and I hope everyone knows they are loved and have so much value. I leave you with this little video of my emotional support hero @lumierethepear as a puppy falling to sleep. #usagainsttheworld 🤍
Just singing back up that no one asked for @tmobilecenter for @bigslickkc with @dariusrucker and the rest of my band mates.
The Big Slick charity raised over 3.5 million for the @childrensmercy hospital this year and what a joy it was to be a part of it again.
Thanks for the 🎥 @taylorcomedy
Hi! I joined @cameo! I’ll be part of the fundraiser for @glaad in honor of pride 🌈 month through thr 30th. Hope this finds you well! Link in story/highlights.
You think car horns & witty signs are disruptive!? Wait till you see a bunch of actors who haven’t been working doin monologues & improv no one asked for. Let’s go! Thanks to everyone who came to the @sagaftra meeting! Thanks for being educated, angry & knowing your worth! Thanks to @sagaftra for upping the communication and the community and for preemptively unifying with the @wgawest. Proud of everyone. Now make sure to VOTE! Instructions to be released may 18th. Don’t sleep on this! Must vote by June 5th! Repost- wake of your friends. Protect your art and your future. With so much love.
Sometimes I’m like, “Man my life has been wild, and I’ve been through some Sh**” and then I’m also like “holy moly I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by some of the best energy in the world.” Grateful for these spring time love bursts. 🤍🤍🤍
Some good times from@the @bigslickkc charity event supporting @childrensmercy. What am honor to be a part of this event again! The families of @davidkoechner robriggle #paulrudd @ericstonestreet #jasonsudekis and @heidilgardner organize this amazingly dialed in charity event and this year they and the great peeps of #kansascity raised 3.5million to being the all time total to over 21 million dollars.
Here’s some of my fav memories from the event
1. Meeting the strong parents of the children at @childrensmercy, especially some with great senses of humor!
2. @taylorcomedy telling @childrensmercy patient dorky jokes that made him stop crying
3. Being on #paulrudd’s team again for friendlyfeud and making jokes with all our comedy pals!
4. @sarahchalke and #willforte being fun and funny
5. Personally adopting #dylanbaker and #beckyannebaker.
6. Being there when @heidilgardner joined as host
7. Getting to see one of my favorite buddies in the world @weemissbea for 3 days and slay at the @tmobilecenter
Only a couple more days to login and vote YES for the #sagstrike authorization. If all our fellow actors approve a strike BEFORE negotiations, we will have more leverage and the studios will know we are more than ready to double the picket line force with the writers! Go to the SAG-AFTRA website, and use your sag # and your social to get your pin and vote. Please make your own videos so everyone remembers, and please share with young actors who may not be as familiar as well as the parents of child actors etc. Everyone is a vote and we need to protect their futures as well as ours. Much love! LFG!

More info regarding #AI and the future of EVERY DEPARTMENT I. Our industry should actors and writers not receive adequate regulations in their deals. (Not to mention how much art suffers) thanks @_justinebateman_ for continuing to educate and share knowledge where you have so much foresight. #sagafta #wga #wgastrong
