Talks have broken off between Hollywood actors and studios, killing any hopes that the three-month strike by performers would come to an end anytime soon. The actors union decried their opponents’ “bullying tactics” and said they were wildly mischaracterising their offers. When negotiations resumed with writers last month, their strike ended five days later, but similar progress was not made with the actors union. The studios walked away from talks after seeing the actors’ most recent proposal on Wednesday. The union said its negotiators were “profoundly disappointed” the studios had broken off talks.
