The cast of “Breaking Bad” has reunited to call upon Hollywood studios to resume negotiations with striking screen actors. Star Bryan Cranston said the actors wanted studio negotiators to “come back to the table” to try to resolve the strike. Cranston was joined by Aaron Paul, Jesse Plemons and other members of the “Breaking Bad” universe in an effort to energize picket lines more than a month after SAG-AFTRA joined striking Hollywood writers. They picketed outside Sony Pictures Studios, which was behind “Breaking Bad” and its follow-ups. Both guilds are seeking to address issues brought about by the dominance of streaming services, which have changed all aspects of production and pay in the industry.

By its final season, which aired more than a decade ago, “Breaking Bad” was one of the most watched and highest-rated cable TV shows ever. “I don’t get a piece from Netflix on ‘Breaking Bad’ to be totally honest and that’s insane to me,” Paul said. “I think a lot of these streamers know that they have been getting away with not paying people a fair wage and now it’s time to pony up.”
“We’re not making them the enemy. They are not villains. These are people that we all will be working with once again at some point,” Cranston said. “We just want them to see reality.”
