Bryan Cranstonduring a demonstration of the actors’ strike in Times Square, he spoke directly to Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger.

The Breaking Bad star said:
We have a message for Mr. Eiger. I know you look at things through a different lens. We don’t expect him to understand who we are. But we ask you to listen to us, and moreover, listen to us when we tell you that we will not allow our jobs to be taken away from us and given to robots. We will not allow him to deprive us of the right to work and earn an amount that allows us to adequately support ourselves. Last but not least, we won’t let you take away our dignity! We are one union to the end!
Cranston further stated:
Our industry has changed exponentially. We are not using the same business model as ten years ago. And yet, while they acknowledge that this is the truth of today’s economy, they struggle to remain tied to the same economic system that is outdated and outdated! They want us to go back in time. We cannot and will not.
