NEW YORK (AP) — SAG-AFTRA held its largest and most star-studded rally yet on Tuesday in Times Square. Their picket sign-waving show of solidary hit 12 days into the actors strike and a day after a Variety reporter questioned the lack of A-listers. Jessica Chastain and Brendan Fraser were among those joining the throngs of demonstrators. Actors and union representatives took turns giving fiery speeches in the heart of Times Square while tourists gawked and passing trucks honked in support. At times, they took aim at the corporate lights and billboards around them, including the Walt Disney-owned ESPN and ABC studios alongside the rally.
