Stars of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have remembered their “dear friend and dynamic human” Mark Margolis following his death at the age of 83. Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito and Dean Norris were among those paying tribute to the actor, who played the villainous Hector Salamanca. Margolis first appeared in Breaking Bad as a wheelchair bound Salamanca, communicating menacingly with a bell, before reprising a younger version of the role for the AMC spinoff Better Call Saul.

Angus Cloud died this Monday, rocking the entertainment industry.

From serving greasy grub in a Brooklyn chicken and waffles shack, to stealing scenes in one of HBO's most celebrated dramas, the late great Angus Cloud enjoyed quite a final five years before tragically passing away this week. Familiar to millions of TV watchers as the drug dealer Fez in two seasons of Euphoria, alongside the likes of Zendaya (as Rue), Jacob Elordi (Nate) and Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), the 25 year old was born and raised in an Irish-American family, living in Oakland and attending Oakland School for the Arts, where he studied technical theatre. Angus eventually relocated to New York with future hopes of putting down roots in his ancestral homeland of Ireland, but a random ticket to fame put the brakes on those plans.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Bethenny Frankel says reality stars should take a page out of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes and unionize. She says she believes reality stars should be earning residual-like payments when their series become hits and are replayed by networks and streamers across multiple platforms. Frankel shot to fame on the original “Real Housewives of New York.” She says she was paid $7,250 for the first season, but has never received any compensation based on the show’s massive success. She has a starred in a variety of reality series since “RHONY,” including “Bethenny Getting Married,” “Bethenny and Frederick” and “Bethenny Every After.”

Some questions just can’t be asked.

#SAGAFTRA Picket Line Interview: #MCU Legend & #SAG, #WGA & #DGA member @ClarkGregg says "I feel like we're kind of fighting to keep the soul in the art form" pic.twitter.com/7SWpjbvqGbGregg wasn’t the only actor on the picket line concerned about AI. Christopher Clawson, another SAG member who also happens to have a master’s degree in innovation and technology from the University of San Diego, hopes to see the unions “come up with a very specific language that will protect performers.”“The thing that scares me is that the studio’s know more about what these capabilities are, than the union,” Clawson said. “Because they’re the ones who get pitched this stuff, you know? They’re the ones with the deep pockets.

Thousands of actors have been walking the picket lines across LA and New York today and it’s clear that the SAG-AFTRA strike against the studios is going to continue to wreak havoc on scripted television.
