Why We Act: MET Goes Live on a Day That Matter . . . International Workers Day

Why We Act  

We didn’t pick May 1st by accident. This is International Workers Day — and we’re here to remind the industry that actors are workers, too.

Not the 1% we always read about — with the six-figure salaries, back-end points, and residuals.

So welcome to MET’s new home on Portfolio Pad — a space to highlight the actors we represent, the stories they help shape, and the power of showing up in a business that too often forgets who's holding it up.

This is the first of many. A moment to stop, take a breath, and meet the people doing the work. The work will be showcased on our YouTube channel: TheMETMosaicStoriesFromthe99  

Let us introduce you to just a few of them:
Stefania Gonzalez, The Empath — who speaks with heart and listens with her soul.
Roe Rancell, The Survivor — whose strength is quiet, steady, and unshakable.
Julio Batista, The Recognized — still working, still building, and standing in his own visibility.
Julie Pham, The Inheritor — a rising voice shaped by those who came before her.

This is the 99%. The working actors.

Artists. Workers. Storytellers.

Let's not forget about them. It's easy. The working actor. Often times the least protected, least respected person above and below the line.
