For the first time in decades, actors in Hollywood have gone on strike.
Negotiations between the actor's union and the big studios broke down last week, and now everyone from top A-listers to background actors have joined already striking screenwriters on the picket lines.
But this is not about multimillionaires wanting a bigger pay packet. Big questions hang over this conflict about the future of the entertainment industry, from how content is delivered to the masses, to whether or not the people we see on screen are real or artificially created.
On The Front Page today, New York Times entertainment reporter Brooks Barnes once again joins us from the picket lines in Los Angeles as Hollywood questions its future.
