Frank Granda: Actor, agent and author in San Diego, CA, USA.

Rachel Zegler is rumored to be suing Disney for...... well, I'm not sure.She has single handily destroyed any good will between her and a movie audience with her attitude. Not everything she said was all that damaging, but she did not stop it when she had the chance and her follow up comments only made it worse.

Maybe....Disney should sue SAG/AFTRA. Rachel is one of their union members of which Disney is obligated to use. So if a union worker loses money for the people that are forced to hire actors from the union, shouldn't the company be reimbursed by the union? SAG is always talking up the concept of "Premier Talent" or "Bankable talent" so they can charge studios more to use their members because they'll bring in profits from the box office. So if one of their union talents does the opposite, doesn't that constitute fraud in some sense. Yes, Disney didn't have to use Rachel Zegler, but were they warned ahead of time that Rachel was an oral loose cannon?

Disney fired Gina Carano for a post that was nothing until they made it something.Gina sued and won as she deserved to, but Rachel is kind of another story. Rachel proudly boasted that she didn't need anyone's business if they didn't agree with her.

It'll be interesting how history remembers these pages being written. It will also be interesting if investors and producers learn a valuable lesson as well. I would hope actors are figuring this out.

Hello, my name is Frank and I am 4th year student from UC Irvine studying political science and international studies with an interest in media. I have aspirations on being a producer, writer, or even a director and I have experience from my various projects over the years.

I have written numerous short stories, screenplays, poetry, songwriting on a variety of genres ranging from pulp science fiction to political satire. Some of which, got published in a few literary journals. I have created and produced a few radio dramas at my local college radio station where I also written, directed, and even voiced the characters involved. I was also the executive director of a student-made romantic comedy short film.

Currently, I am involved in content creation where I make videos on TikTok while drafting screenplays on potential projects I would like to pitch to anyone interested. I have drafted a few show ideas, one of which is an adaptation of an old radio show I just did that an anthology series about an inter-dimensional human alien and his adventures across the multiverse in the style of old 1960s sci-fi shows.

I am based in San Diego but I am interested in reaching out to anyone in LA or in the SoCal region. In my spare time, I enjoy reading science fiction, horror, surrealist works, and old comics. I am interested in Star Wars and Marvel though I have watched a variety of films, shows, and online content that are old, new, experimental, and mainstream from different genres that has influenced my work over the years. Though I personally have developed a love of the A24 style and would love to work for them one day. Looking forward to connecting with you guys!
