"Stranger Things" and other Hollywood shows halt production as WGA strike enters second week, leaving actors and contractors out of work.As Hollywood prepares for its second week of the Writers Guild of America strike, the effects are beginning to be felt for all who work in the industry.
One of the hardest hit workers in the industry by the strike are actors, who are left powerless as production for shows and movies comes to a halt."I was scheduled for a netflix show, and then it actually got canceled," said Nelson Hill, an actor.More VideosSunday's live broadcast of the MTV Movie and TV awards was canceled after the host, Drew Barrymore, pulled out due to the strike, and instead a pre-taped show aired.
