Sean Penn says he won’t work with unvaccinated crew members. TV actors without Covid-19 jabs are seeing their characters sent on a trip—or worse. In Hollywood, life on set is different.
LOS ANGELES—In Hollywood, soap opera characters portrayed by vaccine skeptics are being killed off or shipped away, set crews for’s “Black Panther” sequel and other projects are being reprimanded or reassigned, and some A-list stars won’t work with colleagues who haven’t gotten a jab., life on set is different. Studios and streaming services, eager to get the flow of programming back to a regular pace, are shouldering new costs and cutting ties with unvaccinated cast and crew.
Covid-related expenses usually run about 10% or 20% of a movie’s budget, said Eric Busch, president of Vigilant EHS Solutions Inc., a Los Angeles-based safety and protocol company specializing in entertainment clients. Some industry executives and actors say vaccine mandates are the most efficient way to deal with Covid-19 on sets and A-list talent are increasingly calling the shots, producers say.
Mr. Penn said other actors who are in a position of influence, and whose participation in a film helps secure financing, should be making the same vaccine demand on sets. The production industry’s return-to-work union agreement, which has governed Covid-19 safety protocols for several months, is set to end January 15. Some productions are implementing their own protocol. On “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” some departments used a three-strikes policy that reprimanded workers who had to be told multiple times to wear masks or follow other rules, according to crew members.
