Forget Actors and Writers, Stunt Workers Do Striking the Best

Nobody does striking like the stunt men.

With the writers' and actors' strikes ongoing, it's important to remember that there is a third subgroup also on the picket line: stunt workers. And with all the tools of the trade at their disposal, nobody does striking like the stunt men. 


The SAG-AFTRA union also includes stunt men and women, and in order to show their solidarity with the cause, they held a rally on Monday in Fayetteville, Georgia, per Atlanta News First


“We should share in the successes of our employer when their product goes and they make billions with a ‘B,'" SAG-AFTRA local president Eric Goins said. 


As part of the rally, a stunt performer named Mike Massa set himself on fire. Massa was Harrison Ford's stunt double in the recent Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny blockbuster. 


"Dedicated," @littlemsmaddy commented. "The industry couldn’t survive without stunt actors."


Unfortunately, until a fire is lit underneath the butts of the studio bosses, SAG-AFTRA will have to keep striking.
