Will Smith on WGA and SAG-AFTRA Joint Strike
The Oscar-winning American actor posted a message to his co-stars on Instagram and Twitter in support of the strike, as well as in support of the next generation of new actors. Here are his words.
I want to talk a little about acting. As some of you may have heard, my association, @SAGAFTRA, is on strike with our fellow WGA writers. This is a fundamental moment for our profession. 33 years of my acting career and there are still days when I still feel like that little Philadelphia kid still on loan here, even though I know I’m incredibly lucky to have been working all this time. Thanks to my friend, my mentor, and my mentor @aaronspeiser, whom I call a coach, those days when I feel like an outsider have become rarer and rarer.
The other day, the coach invited me to an acting class, and I met a very talented group of new generation actors, they also surprised me and inspired me a lot!
I am very grateful to the coach as he continues to help these budding talents in this art that I love and in which I have been very lucky for three decades of my life! Thanks TRAINER!
