Woods Joins Strike

Wed., May 3, 2000

Tiger Woods was no different from more than 100,000 commercial actors whose anonymous faces and voices help sell soap, coffee and hundreds of other products.

He was on strike.

The golf star joined the walkout by TV and radio commercial actors, refusing to film an ad for Nike.

The Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which represent 135,000 actors, demand a bigger cut from the cable market.
