Mandy Moore has joined the ongoing Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).
The multi-hyphenate, whose big music breakthrough was 1999 single, “Candy,” recently shared her unbelievable experience as an actress in Hollywood, revealing that she doesn’t earn nearly as much as her fans think. The heartbreaking information sparked a backlash from her supporters, who appreciated her for speaking out and joining the cause.
Mandy Moore Has Joined Her Colleagues In Their Fight Against Low Pay
Although Moore has had a long Hollywood career since his first small voice role in the 2001 film, “Dr. Dolittle 2,” his salary did not match his status. So he did not think to join his colleagues when they took to the streets to protest their low wages on Tuesday, July 18.
While picketing outside Disney’s offices in Burbank, California, the actress spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about the importance of the ongoing strike. He began:
“The waste issue is a big issue. We are in the very fortunate position that working actors have been on shows that have found incredible success in one way or another but many actors in our position go for years before we can live off scraps or at least pay their bills. .”

The mother-of-two later revealed how surprised she was that her streaming residuals from “This Is Us,” where she portrayed Rebecca Pearson from 2016 to 2022, earned her “so small, like an 81 cent check” even though the drama was one of them. the most popular series since the last seven years.
He added that he found out during a conversation with his business manager that “he received balances for one cent and two cents.” Moore then offered “a little more clarity” to the situation in a lengthy Instagram caption, which read in part:
“I fully acknowledge my position as a very lucky and outstanding actor at this time, one that I do not take for granted and one that I also do not think will last forever. Ours is a fickle industry and in the 20+ years I’ve been a performer, my career has ebbed and flowed. I had really lean years where I couldn’t get work and those were the moments when in years past, actors could rely on the remnants of their past work to help them survive.”
Reacting to the candid message, one fan commented, “Thank you for recognizing your privilege as an actor, but also thank you for being transparent with what’s going on.” The second person states:
“And if Mandy gets paid a check for 81 cents, think of the poor extras and smaller guest stars getting $0.02 checks. I have seen it. Not even worth the stamp they use to send the check. Something has to change.”
A third netizen praised, “You carry while climbing, Mandy. This is what it means to be an ally. You’re not always high-profile and successful, and because you remember those tougher days, you use your voice to speak up for those who feel all but invisible.” “Your voice is big in this. Thank you for using it to help your peers,” appreciated the fourth cyber citizen.
Tom Cruise Lends His Voice For Stakeholder Negotiations

Before hundreds of actors took their places on the picket lines, The Blast revealed that Tom Cruise reportedly participated in a negotiation session between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the actors’ union, and SAG-AFTRA.
During the meeting, the “Mission Impossible” star urged SAG-AFTRA representatives to allow union actors to continue promoting their films during the strike because of the complicated state of the theater business.
As we all know, theater has struggled to return to its peak, following the debilitating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Apparently, a source present during the discussion claimed that the “Top Gun” actor’s comments on the issue felt “uncomfortable.”
The presence of the superstar is because SAG-AFTRA sometimes calls on famous figures to speak from their expert perspective during its negotiation process. In addition, any union member may request an opportunity to address a bargaining session, with SAG-AFTRA evaluating the value of having them participate in negotiations.
Unfortunately, Cruise’s presence drew no weight as AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA failed to reach a favorable agreement. The original contract was extended past the initial deadline to Wednesday, July 12, with SAG-AFTRA members beginning their labor strike on July 14.
