SAG-AFTRA Foundation president Courtney B. Vance says that Dwayne Johnson’s ‘historic’ donation will help thousands of striking actors.
Man, when things get tough, you need someone you can really count on to do the right thing.
Someone who won’t let you down.
A Rock.
That was nice, would love to see more actors and writers pitch in.

Damn, I never thought too much of him, even with his gifts here and there, but that’s pretty awesome.

The hiearchy of power in the labor strike universe is about to change.
The studios ought to be worried about this kind of thing. If all the out of work actors are getting support like this, they are less incentivised to compromise to end the strike, and will be more likely to push harder for stronger concessions from the studios. You have a lot of people out there who suddenly find themselves with a steady and reliable source of income, which for an actor is a precious thing. Settle this quickly or you might have a lot of strikers who don’t want to work for you at all under the old conditions.
And there are plenty of other potential contributors to the fund who have a lot of money to spread around.
