Orange Is The New Black's Kimiko Glenn Sounds Alarm On Alleged Pay Discrepancy Between Actors On The Netflix Series
A candid video highlights financial struggles of streaming performers despite international fame
Kimiko Glenn (Peni Parker in the Spider-Verse franchise) took to TikTok over the weekend to underline comments she made in a recent New Yorker underlining the alleged pay discrepancy between actors on Orange is the New Black and the lack of residuals on future streams. The Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild are under work stoppage orders due to unsuccessful negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers concerning streaming compensation, AI, and other current concerns.
"People were bartenders still. People had their second jobs still," Glenn, who played Brook Soso, said in the self-published video. "They were f****** famous as shit, like internationally famous, couldn't go outside, but had to keep their second jobs because they couldn't afford to not. We couldn't afford cabs to set… I deserve to get paid for as many f****** streams as that shit gets."
