Will Smith, Charlize Theron, and other actors sound off on a potential SAG strike

As negotiations between Hollywood’s two main actors’ guilds and the town’s producers continue at a snail’s pace, actors like Will Smith and Charlize Theron are starting to speak out about how a Screen Actors Guild strike would affect them and the economy.

EW.com correspondent Carrie Bell is said to have recently talked with Will Smith and several other actors at the premiere of Hancock, about their thoughts on a potential strike.

Will Smith said that “With the writers’ strike and Hollywood having been through this already this year and having lost millions of dollars, [an actors' strike is] just really not a good time for America, for California, or for a lot of people I know and work with. I hope we can come to a resolution all sides are happy with before it comes to that again. If it has to happen, I hope it moves rapidly. But the economy is terrible and we don’t need to be contributing to it.”

And Charlize Theron said that “I just hope some adult conversation can take place and we can resolve this efficiently and fairly and without having to stop work all over the city and the world.”

Virginia Madsen said that “I am a member of both SAG and AFTRA. I wasn’t sure about the decision of AFTRA to go ahead and deal separately, although there are some different issues on the table for each. But I kind of feel like there is validity to the strength-in-numbers philosophy. I just hope that we can come to a healthy, beneficial solution for everyone involved and when it is done, it is done. We all have to come to the middle and compromise.”

What do you make of all this?

If there is another strike what affect do you think it will have on the movie industry and the actors?
