AbbottElementary star William Stanford Davis is shedding light on his residual payments after revealing a five-cent check: 'We're going to be on strike until we get what we need to make a living.'

He then held up the check to the camera, exposing the meager payment before commenting on the absurdity of mailing someone a check for so little money."Can you believe that? That's [five] cents. The postage, the paper, everything costs more than that," he said. Davis later added,"That's what they think of us as actors. This is why we're on strike for better wages, for better residuals [and] for a piece of the subscription and to not give in to AI."
On Instagram, he also captioned the video by writing,"There ain’t nothing funny about a [five-cent] residual check! What are we supposed to do with that? I stand strong with our union as we fight for what’s ours and for the success of the future generations."
