Sean spoke to The Hollywood Reporter while on the picket line for the SAG-AFTRA strike, which is happening alongside the WGA Strike, where he revealed that he’s frustrated over the lack of residuals for not just him, but the entire cast, as the full series and the special, A Year in a Life, is streaming.
“I was on a television show called Gilmore Girls for a long time that has brought in massive profits for Netflix,” he shared. “It has been one of their most popular shows for a very long time, over a decade. It gets streamed over and over and over again, and I see almost none of the revenue that comes into that.”
Sean went on, saying that the CEOS of the streaming giant need to “share the wealth”.
“I don’t understand why they can’t lessen those bonuses to share the wealth more with the people who have created the content that has gotten them rich,” he says. “It really is a travesty. And if the answer is, ‘Well, this is just how business is done, this is just how corporate business works,’ that sucks. That makes you a bad person.”
Sean continued, “You really need to rethink how you do business and share the wealth with people. Otherwise this is all going to come crashing down.”
