About 160,000 actors who belong to SAG-AFTRA are about to go on strike, joining more than 11,000 members of the Writers Guild of America who have been on strike since May 2. Here's how your favorite movies and TV shows will be affected.

Looking forward to big-budget blockbusters coming to a theater near you next summer? Maybe not. You’ve always heard great things about “Breaking Bad” or “The Wire” but you never got around to watching it? Or maybe something more recent like the “The Last of Us,” which just got nominated for more than two-dozen Emmy awards? Now’s your chance. And by the way, it might be a while before you know how many of those Emmys “The Last of Us” eventually takes home.

But most other actors will stop working as soon as the union’s government board votes to go on strike later Thursday. Rank-and-file members have already voted 98% in favor of authorizing a strike. Actors will not be doing publicity for movies that are being released, including appearing on the red carpet at movie premieres or doing interviews on podcasts.
