. “And then the next year you get that one payment again, but it’s a little smaller. It’s a decreasing payment once per year, if you’re talking about shows that are made for Netflix or made for Disney+ or made for Hulu.

Bradley, a SAG member since 2006, says he remembers opening one of his first residual checks for $1,000 in 2014.
“I broke down crying because it was how I was going to be able to cover some of my rent,” Bradley says. With the shift to streaming, Bradley says residuals have largely evaporated. Sylvia Batey Alcalá, a SAG member since 2008, has received meager residuals for streaming services, like Amazon Freevee, as well. It’s frustrating, she says, because the industry isn’t transparent when it comes to its metrics for determining success.
