Mandy Moore/instagram Everything to Know About the SAG Strike and How It Will Affect TV and Movies SAG President Fran Drescher and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator of SAG-AFTRA, announced the strike at a press conference Thursday afternoon, saying the vote was "unanimous." Crabtree-Ireland said the studios "left us with no alternative" than to strike. In her speech, Drescher noted that the "entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, A.I." She continued, "This is a very big deal and it weighed heavy on us. At some point, you have to say no, we’re not going to take it anymore." She added, "The jig is up... We demand respect. You share the wealth, because you cannot exist without us."

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in August that year, Moore — who played matriarch Rebecca Pearson — opened up about how "daunting" it had been moving on from the NBC series after six seasons. "Clearly, nothing will ever hold the same place in my heart as [This Is Us]," she told the outlet at the time. "And, quite frankly, nothing will probably mean the same thing to the world in the way that that job did." "I love working and I feel so incredibly lucky to have had the best job in the world for the last six years," she continued. "I think every creative person is definitely afraid of not working and feels like their last job is their last job. I have been reading stuff and thinking about what's next, but it's daunting."

Jon Kopaloff/Getty 'This Is Us' Cast Calls Their Time on Series 'One for the Books' as They Say Goodbye to Show Metz — who played Kate Pearson on the hit series during its entire six-year run — has also addressed her love for the show, telling PEOPLE in May: "I miss This Is Us desperately. And not only was it life-changing for me, but the best people, the way that it touched people's lives and hearts and minds, it was really, really special." As for Huertas, who portrayed Miguel, he previously told PEOPLE he knew exactly why fans resonated so well with the series. "I think almost every scene in some respect resonated with viewers because the great thing about our show is that our writers are able to take pieces of themselves [and] pieces of conversations they have with us, the actors," he shared. "And they're able to kind of lace that into every episode and every scene and that way the audience can see or find themselves in every moment, every situation, every character."
