The UK has a £6 billion pound film and TV production industry supporting 86,000 jobs. The US actors union SAG-AFTRA initiated an actor strike and the production of projects with US actors in leading roles has inevitably ground to halt at locations outside the US, even though the strike is principally a US matter. Thousands of British film production workers have been laid off on films such as "Snow White" with American actress Gai Gadot" and "Deadpool 3" with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman all at the Pinewood studios complex in Buckinghamshire UK. Elsewhere at Sky studios in Elstree the Arianne Grande fronted film "Wicked" has also halted, Many other productions in many locations are also being affected . The majority of workers on film and TV are freelance and no work means no pay. Phillipa Childs of the broadcast union BECTU expresses the worry that the longer the dispute goes on the more worrying it will be not only for BECTU members but for many others.
