SAG-AFTRA held its starriest rally today in Times Square, with Jessica Chastain, Bryan Cranston, Steve Buscemi and Christian Slater joining the demonstration. Slater explained how the union's health care helped sustain his father's life, while Buscemi — who opened his speech with "How do you do, fellow actors?" — spoke about what is at stake: fair pay, revenue sharing, health care, retirement funding, fair casting and AI protection.

Hopefully this cures us of our burgeoning popularity!
