Levi calls ongoing strikes necessary to protect those in Hollywood
In a statement made on Friday , Levi called his previous comments “an offhand remark,” and said that they’ve since been taken out of context. He went on to voice his full support for both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and called the strike a necessary thing to protect actors and writers alike. “It’s come to my attention that an offhand remark I made in jest last weekend is being taken out of context,” Levi said. “So let me be very clear. I fully support my union, the WGA, and the strike. I remain an outspoken critic of the exploitative system that us artists are subject to work in since I started my journey in this business 25 years ago. This strike is necessary to protect ourselves, our writers, and all those working in production who make the industry move.
Despite the clarification, Levi went on to echo the sentiments he made last week. The actor stated that people cannot forget the fans while they strike. “But we also cannot forget our fans during this strike. Fans that spend their money and energy traveling far distances to talk with us about our work that means so much to them, we should be able to engage. Our business exists and succeeds because of the fans, and I think it’s imperative we appreciate them for their support of our careers.
