Arriving back in Los Angeles, Stephen spoke to TMZ about joining the picket line, and explained that “when I spoke the first time, I didn’t choose my words as I should.”
“I love acting, I love film and I love television and I know how much going on strike hurts, not just the actors, but all the people who work on film and television,” he continued. “I always said that I support my union. Saying I don’t support the strike was the wrong choice of words, plain and simple. I put my foot in my mouth and I’m trying to take ownership of it.”
Stephen then explained that it was the right time to join the line with his fellow actors.
“I hesitate that I did a 180, it’s more that I should have spoken more clearly and concisely the first time around.”
