It's a writers strike but actors play a major role

Los Angeles Times: "AT the start of the writers strike last November, everyone had a good laugh when Entertainment Weekly did a big cover story illustrated entirely with pictures, not of writers, but TV stars like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Marg Helgenberger and 'Tonight Show' host Jay Leno. (The magazine did run a photo of '30 Rock' creator Tina Fey, but she was identified as 'showing her solidarity' with the strikers, not as one of their own.)"
