Stephen Amell, who is known for his role in «Arrow,» voiced his disagreement with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike during an appearance at GalaxyCon in North Carolina. The 42-year-old actor expressed support for his union but criticized the strike as a reductive negotiating tactic, finding it frustrating. After a fan asked the actor about the strike, Amell said, «I support my union, I do, and I stand with them. I do not support striking. I don't. I think that it is a reductive negotiating tactic, and I find the entire thing incredibly frustrating.» Amell's statement comes amidst the backdrop of Hollywood actors' decision to strike in July, joining writers, who were already on strike. The strike has led to the suspension of numerous movie and TV show productions, causing significant disruptions in the industry. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strikes have also halted the production of TV shows and movies, with notable impacts on upcoming releases like Zendaya's «Challengers,» which was scheduled for the Venice International Film Festival but has now been postponed to 2024. Hollywood writers began their strike in May, demanding better payment contracts, particularly with the rise of streaming services like Netflix. Actors are also seeking improved pay deals, especially from streaming platforms. Despite Amell's reservations about the strike, he clarified that he stands with his union, indicating that his appearance at GalaxyCon does not violate the strike terms since it is unrelated to «struck» companies and not contractually bound to a studio.
