The strategy, which includes aggressively seeking out appearances on television talk shows, is an outgrowth of the 2-week-old steering committee formed by Gotham-based celebrities to support the 120-day-old strike by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists. Union members have hired ID Public Relations to book recognizable actors during the period leading up to the resumption of bargaining in New York on Sept. 13. The strategy was unveiled at a Monday night meeting at the Quinteros Theater in Manhattan attended by Kevin Bacon, Philip Bosco, Billy Crudup, Richard Dreyfuss, Celeste Holm, Robert Klein, Julianna Margulies, Bebe Neuwirth, Mary-Louise Parker, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Kyra Sedgwick. Strike captain Paul Reggio said the issues in the strike, particularly the demand by advertisers to replace residuals for network TV ads with upfront buyout payments, have resonated with the celebs. The ad industry, which has not changed its bargaining position since mid-April, has insisted that the residuals system -- in which actors are compensated based on the number of times a spot runs -- is outmoded and needs to be modernized. In addition to maintaining the residuals system for broadcast network ads, actors also want to extend it to cable TV ads, for which they currently receive a flat fee. The committee is also planning a Sept. 7 event on Broadway with the goal of evoking support from theater performers who are members of Actors Equity, and they plan to show up in force when negotiations resume six days later. The unions had called off staging nearby demonstrations when negotiators met in June and July.
