Paul Duke (48) from Ghent acted alongside George "cool guy" Clooney. Now they are on strike together: “Giving in to the studios is not an option”

Those who are waiting for blockbusters like ‘Spider-Man 4’, ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘The Last of Us’ will have to exercise patience. Hollywood’s 160,000 actors have decided to join the screenwriters’ strike, leaving the film industry in shambles. The Flemish Hollywood actor Paul Duke (48) explains why he and his colleagues – he already worked with George Clooney and Natalie Dormer – are putting down work. “We will certainly feel this, but if we don’t continue now, we risk disappearing completely into the pocket of the studio bosses.”
