Song For The Writers!
I like writers. They tend to be decent, funny, creative people. I have always found the actor/writer relationship to be a very creative one. I know all the writer jokes actors tell and vice versa but the truth is that actors and writers are like.... well.... Like....Uh... I could act it out for you but I can't put it into words.
In the interest of full disclosure I also tend to like the creative execs I have worked with. I have, like, five friends who are execs and their assistants tell me they are very nice people. So who is holding things up here? All the writers I know would like it if the two sides would sit down and start talking. 4 out of 5 execs I know feel the same... wait... Make that 3 out of 4 -- What a tough business.
What the writers are asking for is more than fair. Let's support them because this battle will have repercussions for all of us no matter what you do.
It is my pleasure to write one for the writers who have written so many for all of us...
