For more than a decade, work had been nonstop in Atlanta’s booming film industry thanks to Georgia’s extremely generous tax break.
Having now gone nearly five months without film work, O'Hare has been relying on a combination of savings, unemployment checks and odd jobs he's been doing for his grandmother's neighbors, including lawnmowing and pressure washing.
He hopes the actors will soon reach a deal, though a recent breakdown in negotiations had quelled some optimism.
Even with a deal, O'Hare knows it could still be months before he's back on set.
She feels Atlanta-based actors are frequently overlooked by casting agents who still focus on New York and Los Angeles talent pools.
