Actor Sean Gunn, known for playing Kirk Gleason in the popular series 'Gilmore Girls,' is among many writers and actors who are on strike, advocating for better protections and fair residual pay amid the rise of streaming platforms.
Gunn told"CBS Mornings" on Tuesday they want transparency from streaming services, stressing the need for companies to disclose specifics about earnings to help ensure a fair distribution of profits.
While actors on some syndicated TV shows, like"Friends," receive substantial residuals from reruns, those on streaming shows often receive meager compensation for additional views,Netflix is a publicly traded company, so information about its revenue and profit is publicly available. But what's not available is more transparency around how much content is consumed on their platform.
