Hollywood is experiencing its first dual work stoppage in 63 years, halting productions around the country and costing the country's economy billions of dollars.

On July 14, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA), which represents over 160,000 actors and comedians, voted to join screenwriters in the first joint strike in over six decades.
