Stephen Amell might’ve called the SAG-AFTRA strike “myopic,” but now he’s hoping folks “don’t whip any hard fruit” at him, should they meet on the picket line.
According to the Arrow actor’s new Instagram statement, “soundbites can be taken out of context,” and he has “too much respect for my fellow union members to not clarify the record.”
Earlier this week, Amell became one of the highest-profile stars to gripe about the actors walkout, which began last month. Along with other unions in Hollywood, SAG-AFTRA has repeatedly expressed its solidarity with the Writers Guild of America—which has been on strike since May—and the union has called on members to cease all major studio work, including promotion.
