11 Aug

SAG-AFTRA members are currently on strike; as a part of the strike, union actors should not promoting their film and TV projects. This interview was conducted prior to the strike.The tires of Taylor Zakhar Perez’s plane have just touched ground at LaGuardia airport the morning of July 13, mere hours before the Hollywood actors’ strike can be made official. It’s likely he’s only just now seeing the text from his team telling him to call some journalist from Allure magazine as soon as he can. He calls me just as he’s finding a seat by the airport’s gaudy Latest York City-themed “water show” installation that blasts Frank Sinatra every five minutes (“It seems like Fantasia”).
