Tommy Dorfman, the star of 13 Reasons Why, disclosed how much she was paid for the first season.
The 29-year-old actor, who came out as trans last year, is most known for his role as Ryan Shaver in seasons one, two, and four of the Netflix hit and has since appeared on programmes such as Jane The Virgin, Insatiable, and Love, Victor.
Hollywood is now on strike, with US union Sag-Aftra announcing its first significant members strike in more than 40 years, prompting the actors of Oppenheimer to walk out of their own premiere.
It comes in the midst of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, which began in May when the union and the trade organisation Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) were unable to reach an agreement on salary.
Dorfman revealed in a Threads post that her total earnings for the first season were $29,953 (£23,300).
‘My earnings for the entire first season of 13 Reasons Why were $29,953.24 prior to agency and manager fees (20%) and taxes. 8 episodes over six months,’ she wrote.
She added: ‘I did all of the promo and had KEY ART for this show, flew round trip from NYC to SF to shoot for every episode, was kept for days without pay/working. I barely qualified for insurance. Within the first 28 days of release, the show’s season 1 garnered a total of 476 million view hours. This is why we strike. @sagaftra.’
In terms of the present strike, after more than a month of negotiations, the union and Hollywood studios were unable to reach a deal, with performers demanding more compensation and protections for artificial intelligence (AI) rights, among other things.
During the strike, members are not permitted to attend premieres, award events, or film festivals, according to Screen Actors Guild standards.
They are not permitted to do interviews for completed projects or to promote them on social media.
Furthermore, they are not permitted to attend events such as Comic-Con to promote any previous or present work created under a contract with Sag-Aftra.
13 Reasons Why is available to stream on Netflix.
