New Delhi:- Jason Kravitz is well aware of people who recognize him, but they don't know exactly how he does it. "I'm a guy who looks like the guy you hung out with in high school," Kravitz says. "People just think they've seen me somewhere."

Actually, yes. On television he appears mostly as a lawyer or a doctor. "I've played enough roles to be in your living room every night," says the veteran actor. "But most people don't know my name."

Kravitz is one of those actors that trade union leaders call "travelers." They work for pay and tend to spend at least as much time in line at work as they do for work. Without great purpose, you can have a great year and then a bad one. “We are always on the verge of fighting,” says Kravitz.

And they're at the center of the actors' strike, not the big Hollywood picket lines. Many say the public thinks all actors are highly paid, and fear that their love of the craft makes acting almost a hobby. But for the most part, that's their only job, and they have to qualify for health insurance, pay their rent and mortgage, and pay their kids' school and college expenses.

"We are not all Tom Cruise," said Amari Dejois, 30. She studied acting and has worked as an extra and model to support herself, and has considered working as a waitress during the strike. "We have to pay the rent and bills on the first day," she said. And your apartment won't mind if your check isn't as expensive as you expected. 

Recently, Jennifer Van Dyke received a few remaining checks in the mail. One is 60 cents and she's 72 cents. But she got worse. "The joke is you get a one-cent check for 44 cents and it comes in the mail," says the veteran New York actor.

Despite this, Van Dyke considers himself lucky. She has appeared in many TV shows such as "The Blacklist" and "Madame Secretari", and has made 13 guest appearances on "Law & Order". "Just keep jumping," she says. "Once one area is dry, move on to the next. Keeping all the balls in the air is key.

Theater, film, television, narration, audiobooks. Call us buddies:Half the need for a job is looking for a job. " Van Dyke says the advent of streaming has reduced actor incomes at an alarming rate, as streamers make little, if any, revenue. And when it comes to negotiating fees to appear on the show, studios don't seem to care if you have 37 years of experience. "They say, 'This is what we offer, take it or leave it."

She remains upset by the common misconception that actors need to be rich and famous. "Most of us don't," she says. "But all the other roles [in successful shows], all the other shows that get sidetracked or disappear, that's work too. And these stories can't be told without (us)." "Nobody wants to go on strike," added Van Dyke. However, she believes the industry is at an inflection point. And, "At some point, you have to say 'no mass'."

Kravitz grew up in the Washington, D.C. area. From an early age he was obsessed with the fascination of theater, and by the time he was 10 or 11, he was performing in a community theater. He studied theater in college, eventually making his way to New York and then Los Angeles.

He had some luck in LA and landed a recurring role in David E. Kelley's The Practice. Kravitz jokes that she would make more money if she was a real lawyer, but she enjoys playing her. "I'd like to say I play a lot of lawyers, but I'll never play the same lawyer. I play mean lawyers, stupid lawyers, funny lawyers, nasty lawyers, incompetent lawyers. To me, every role is different." Kravitz jokes that he would make more money if he was a real lawyer, but he enjoys playing her. "I'd like to say I play a lot of lawyers, but I'll never play the same lawyer. I play mean lawyers, stupid lawyers, funny lawyers, nasty lawyers, incompetent lawyers. To me, every role is different."

The most difficult changes were in the most significant residuals. "I don't think people outside the industry understand how important utility bills are to the financial affordability of being an actor," he says.  

And because the streaming residue is so thin, Kravitz said there are network shows that came out 10, 15, even 20 years ago that still attract more remnants than high-profile shows like HBO's "The Undoing" and Netflix's "Halston" that they've produced for streamers in recent years.

"It wasn't a hobby," Kravitz says. "I can't afford to do it as a hobby." The series finale of NBC's Blacklist, the show that changed the career of actress Diane Rodriguez, ended its broadcast on Hollywood terrestrial television on the same day.

Rodriguez, who plays James Spader's main character's bodyguard, Weecha, wanted to celebrate her final appearance on social media, but her strike made that impossible. Although she had several new projects booked, she is now fully committed to her duties as commanding officer.

Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Alabama, 41-year-old Rodriguez moved from New York to Atlanta in 2009 to work in theater. Around this time, the Georgia legislature passed a generous film tax credit. The incentives encouraged business, but the prolongation of the strike was deeply offensive to locals. 

"Atlanta's economy is largely funded by tax breaks on movies and TV," she says. Rodriguez says she feels financially secure, thanks in large part to her two-season appearance on The Blacklist, the network's backlog, and her subsequent role on the show.

But she is losing her health insurance coverage and could find herself in the same situation as many of her fellow actors who haven't been earning enough to qualify for SAG-AFTRA coverage in the past few months, she said.
