 Mandy Moore is the latest actor to reveal her shockingly low revenue for appearing in a popular streaming show. The Sag-Aftra actors' strike has entered its second week, with stars taking to the picket line to secure fair pay and assurance about their roles amid the rise of artificial intelligence. As part of the strike, actors are not allowed to promote upcoming projects (leading to the shock moment the A-list cast of Oppenheimer walked out of their own premiere in London). But plenty of stars are talking about their previous endeavours – namely, how little they got paid for them. Orange Is The New Black main cast member Kimiko Glen shared a letter detailing her royalty pay from Netflix which came to a meagre $27 (about £20), and Gilmore Girls star Sean Gunn said he sees 'almost none' of the revenue his series brings in for the streaming service. Now This Is Us star Mandy Moore says she has received literally pennies in revenue before, despite being in 106 episodes of the smash-hit NBC series which streams on Hulu.

She went on to claim she had previously been sent 'tiny … 81 cent checks' for her work as a main character on the series – about 70p. While she says she is 'incredibly fortunate' to star in shows that have found 'tremendous success,' not long ago actors 'were able to live off residuals or at least pay their bills.'
