Oh, Shatner really does not like Vic. Vic told a bit of a tall tale, and Shatner did not like it one bit.

And yeah, Todd Haberkorn has his own credible allegations against him, (I know one of the women in question, even), but Todd was savvy enough to not light his entire career on fire with the propane that is a defamation lawsuit.

Being such a wormy piece of poo poo that even Shatner disavows you is a pretty big achievement, not gonna lie.

My understanding is that social media run by the famous person themselves is rare, most often it's part of their business management people's purview.

More like they all disavowed him, and he thinks he did nothing wrong. The only one of them Shat actually hates back is Takei.

It's a shame about Star Trek Continues, cause if memory serves it was a very well done tribute show. Evocative of the original, including a few of the original actors to boot. Vic even kind of worked as a slightly more swarmy Kirk. Would be hard to rewatch given *hand gestures to this thread*.

I imagine the process was Shatner's daughter told him that there was some weirdo making up stories about him on the twitters, and Shat said something like "call him a lying rear end in a top hat or something." And then went back to doing whatever it is a 90 year old retired multimillionaire does with his waning days on this earth. He probably doesn't even know who the gently caress Vic is.

Nah, shatner literally tagged the VP of Star trek development in too. He's very consistent about the whole thing. His final word on the situation was this.

Also anime dubs in general, even if they are union, are not a subject of the strike, since they are primarily produced by companies outside of the AMPTP.

Nope. Funi/Crunchy are pretty staunchly anti-union, it's the entire reason Funi set up shop in Texas.

While Amell's comments are less than great, I haven't seen anything where he says he would be willing to actually cross the picket line. Disagreeing with the strike and violating it are different things.

Was it a panel for Heels, or like an Arrowverse thing? Because the later should be fine. I wouldn't call Shatner or Levar Burton a scab for doing a Star Trek panel.

From what I can tell, it was a Live Q&A and he complained that the Strike was taking away attention from his New Show who's Second Season just premiered and more people should be watching it.

He later tried to walk it back to how it's inconsiderate of them to have Struck while he was gonna have a show coming out and honestly it would've been better if they had just waited to strike until no shows were coming out (you know, Never) He also comes across as rather chuddy.

He never says his show by name but this is pretty close to Scabbing.

Someone should pull Amell aside and explain to him (as gently as possible so as not to startle him) that the purpose of the strike is to get him paid more money

Vic's va work was non-union. And his live action acting roles are all fan films which I doubt where union jobs either. And even a lot of union approved VA roles aren't covered by the strike. My question is what SAG work is he currently doing since the strike has been called. Has he been doing any work at all since the suit tanked his career?

I'm asking because I think he's lying to seem more important and play to these shows that still book him.

I've looked and the last things he's credited for is "Old man" on one episode of a CG animation produced by Chuck Huber in the UK and I can find no information confirming IMDB. And four projects which have not been released and I would be surprised were SAG jobs.
