The Green Screen Actors Guild Stands With Striking Workers Literally Everywhere

We, members of the Green Screen Actors Guild, wish to extend our solidarity and support to workers across the country who are standing up to fight for fair contracts. You’ll see our members on picket lines wherever workers’ interests are at stake — from an auto plant in Detroit to the Eiffel Tower to a futuristic base on the surface of the moon.

GSAG was founded in the 1940s by green screen performers who’d had enough with lopsided deals and industry exploitation. Our movement was small, at first. Only fourteen people attended the first organizing meeting which took place in the backroom of a small café on the lawn of Buckingham Palace while pterodactyls soared overhead.

We now represent over two million green screen and motion capture professionals. Our members have fought and won fair deals with major studios as recently as 2011, when GSAGs then-President Andy Serkis led a week long hunger strike inside a giant shark’s mouth.

Today, working families are fighting for fair deals in nearly every industry. Union or not, the Green Screen Actors Guild will stand with them. We will also ride rollercoasters with them while standing up. Our union of green screen professionals, performers and computer generated dancing skeleton background actors will always stand by your side.

In solidarity,

Guy Standing In Front Of The Sphinx
