The Perspective from Germany - Andreas Stenschke

[micom46]

Der ist doch seit den Anrheinern weg....

Was der sagt interessiert doch eh niemanden

[ericnfan]

interesting hearing him speak english.

[johnnylenny]

Andreas online on dished(dot)tv!

THANKS so much! US actors need to stand strong! It's not greed. AMPTPA (the producers) want to take all the profits from Internet, Ipods, cell phones, (new Media). This is basically what happened when we the consumers started buying video/DVD's. Actors barley get a cent from the sell of those, literally. AMPTPA's argument was as is now no one knows the profits that will be made if any. Well tons are and they know it. Billions have already been made and not shared.

[Ameliamade]

YOU ROCK! Thank you for sharing you perspective.

Andreas Stenschke played Ulli on Verbotene Liebe:-) It was nice to hear him speaking English.

[antylil]

so theres going to be an actors srike now?

we just finished the writers strike and now a actors strike

[KAKINO0202]

from what i read its not an actors strike.

[antylil]

then wat is it ?

[KAKINO0202]

i got the link from here wikipedia . org /wiki / 2008_Screen_Actors_Guild_strik­e but i just started reading it hehe, and yeah it appears to be like some kind of association betwen actors... i just hope not all of them :s

[antylil]

i know but like if u look up tv series only by far greys anatomy seems to be in danger of getting delayed

[Pervenche09]

Director Guild already made and agreement with AMPTP....near six months before the contra expires for them.....lets see if wga can do the same!!! DGA,org to see details of deal made

[DonnieIsSerious]

Oh, I hate his accent. I hope I don't sound so terrible if I talk English. Anyway, he's right and it's great that he supports the writers.

[AllieJamisonthefirst]

yeah...if they WENT on strike...

It's late over here.

[AllieJamisonthefirst]

Here's the thing: If German tv-writers would go on strike, none would care or even notice it.

[kerrloy]

They would in Germany, and that's the point. That's what they're talking about. They're trying to get the same benefits in Europe that are enjoyed in the United States.

[mazze00]

Here's the thing: nobody in germany cares about the writers strike. a vast majority doesn´t even know about it. only the people in the media business know about it. none cares or even notices it...90% couldn´t tell you who oprah winfrey is...so i guess the records straight...huh?

[delvin24]

Hell Yeah! That's what's up!!

[schmittcle12]

poopy and i have a soccer game but all the best kids on my team wont be there we are playing beachwood ohio

[heine71]

This German guy isn't Arnold Schwartzeneger!!

[kerrloy]

No, this guy is better looking and can act.

[josephcn1]

ahh, the secret to the triumph of the american film industry. more incentives. perhaps more non-glam euro actors just means the industry doesn't attract the glams interest.

[krazykizza]

what did you say at the last 2 seconds?

[josephcn1]

good luck and good bye.

[krazykizza]

ohhh kewl :) good luck to you :D

[darklord1985]

Gives this strike a new perspective,BTW where can I get a shirt like that?

[spencerreidgirl]

finally someone from germany! great! the WGA has to know that people from all over the world are supporting them. and i want such a shirt!

[kirktucci]

The shirts are available at strikeswag.

[heine71]

Oh, hamburgers! (Hamburgers are German!)

[krazykizza]

their french stupid, but the word is from germany

[heine71]

Another German, oh frankfurters!

[bostongirl97]

that's great that the WGA has support from around the world... I miss my tv, but I'm also staying away from watching shows on the internet... All the WGA is asking for is a fair deal, it's all any writer should be given no matter where on this planet you live and write...

[HollywoodFameAwards]

Well said, and an excellent delivery, he's clearly a professional.

[KiheiLawyer]

Its the way it should be in Germany. You work, you get paid. You are an employee so you do not risk your money and should NOT get residuals!! How's that strike working for ya? Poor babies got to get up in the morning and walk all day.

[MadScout]

Fuck off, troll. Go WGA!!!

[kirktucci]

Every video with the same lame comments. Please go away, we get your opinion by now. Oy!

[KiheiLawyer]

That's because every video of the WGA is the same. "oh, support our greediness" "union, fair deal, piece of the pie, union fair deal, piece of the pie, polly want a cracker" "we are all on the same page" The same page of Jealous 500 that you don't have the money to invest to get the profits. A fair deal is what is in Germany!

[kirktucci]

You seem quite convinced that every video bears the same sentiment. If that is so, why do you view every one?

[heine71]

Or else the WGA and DGA and SGA should decide on a date to resume talks to end the strike even with a WGA/DGA/SGA merger with a new long term contract or something like that!
