Hundreds of Screen Actors Guild, union members, and Hollywood actors turned out to show their support for the ongoing strike between actors and TV and movie studios.
"The most important thing that we can do right now as a unit, as a group is to keep together." "They’re going to try to divide us. They’re going to try to tell us this that and the other. All we can do right now is show up – care, be here, picket, post, keep posting, make stories - tell people about this. That’s the only thing that we can do. United we will beat them," Moayed said on stage.
