Tom Hanks' Hollywood worry
Wednesday, 25 June 2008
Hollywood actor Tom Hanks has joined the calls for America's acting unions to approve a deal with studios to end the threat of an actors' strike this summer.
Actors are threatening to walkout this month if talks between the major film studios and the unions fail to resolve a dispute over pay and conditions.
And now the Charlie Wilson's war star has added his name to an email petition urging members of America's acting union AFTRA to accept a deal offered by Hollywood chiefs.
If the union accepts the new agreement, it would be a major step forward in avoiding a strike which will cripple the U.S. film and TV industry - and put many actors out of work.
Another actors union, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), is also negotiating a deal with the major studios - and SAG bosses are urging members of AFTRA to turn down the proposals.
