Statement of Support from SAG
National Board member Anne-Marie Johnson

As a unionist and 11 year National Board member of the Screen Actors Guild, I was extremely disappointed to hear about the current situation facing the four fired "House Of Payne" writers. As an actor who occasionally appears on Mr. Perry's show, I am conflicted and angry. I realize that speaking publicly in support of the writers will jeopardize my recurring role, but Mr. Perry's firing of writers, for negotiating for fair WGA coverage, including health insurance, does not speak well for a man who claims to believe in family, pride in ones race and artistic equality. It's time he steps up to do the right thing.
