Thousands of film and television workers in Greater Victoria are on edge Friday, one day after unionized American actors joined film and television writers on the picket lines.

Actors in the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists went on strike Thursday after contract negotiations with the production companies, studios and streaming services that employ them fell through.

The horror-comedy television series Reginald the Vampire just wrapped production in Victoria, leaving a bulk of the local production crew currently out of work. Approximately 300 production workers in Victoria are full-time, relying entirely on the industry for their income, while another 200 or so are part-time workers with other employment, Gilbert said.
