Javier Hernandez hasn’t had a job as a boom operator for the past seven months and it has taken a lot of number crunching to make his financial reserves last as long as they have as Hollywood’s strikes reached the four-month mark.
But as busy as he’s been taking care of his family, he felt it was important to show up at SAG-AFTRA’s National Day of Solidarity event outside the Disney lot last Tuesday. After a rally that included A-listers like Martin Sheen and Kerry Washington, Hernandez spoke to TheWrap while holding a picket sign bearing the logo of his union: IATSE Local 695.
