The strikes in Hollywood continued, and this time it was Aaron Paul, co-star of Breaking Bad, who raised his voice to take a stand against the changes in the industry’s remuneration motivated by the growth of streaming services such as Netflix.
In the company of actor Bryan Cranston, he asked the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) to resume negotiations to reach an agreement where the needs of the actors are not left aside and they are given a fair payment for their work.
Aaron Paul revealed to the media that he receives nothing from Netflix for Breaking Bad, something that the actor described as crazy, given the popularity of the series on the platform and social networks.
Paul indicated that: “Series live forever on streaming platforms, and Breaking Bad is trending on Netflix, and I think a lot of platforms take advantage and don’t pay people a fair wage, but now it’s time to pay up.”
Aaron Paul says he doesn’t make any money from "Breaking Bad" streaming on Netflix:
