Will Smith spoke out recently about the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
Will recently attended an acting workshop run by his “friend,” “teacher,” and “mentor,” celebrated acting coach Aaron Speiser, and it inspired the actor to share his thoughts on Instagram.
Will wrote: "I wanna talk for a second about ACTING. As some of ya'll mighta heard, my guild, @SAGAFTRA are on strike along with our writer colleagues in the WGA. It’s a pivotal moment for our profession."
"33 years into my career as an actor, and there are still some days when I feel like I’m that kid from Philly who’s on borrowed time, even though I know I’ve been extraordinarily blessed and lucky to have worked as an actor all this time," Will shared.
However, Will added that there were still days when he felt like he didn’t “belong.” He then thanked Aaron, who he fondly referred to as “coach,” for helping him overcome those dark days.
"I’m grateful to coach for continuing to support these talented hopefuls in this art-form that I love and have been lucky enough to work in for three decades of my life! Thanks COACH!"
Will joins a long list of actors in all levels of the industry who march on with the picket lines of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike.
Fight on! 🤘
