Lizzie McGuire alum Robert Carradine brought receipts in give a boost to of the SAG-AFTRA strike — and printed that residual exams can overall zero dollars.
“Why we’re striking …,” Carradine, 69, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 28, alongside a check he gained in August 2019 for “$0.00.”
The fee for “Zero and No/100 Dollars” was issued by way of Walt Disney Pictures’ Disney Worldwide Services Inc., apparently confirming that it used to be for Carradine’s work on Lizzie McGuire.
Carradine portrayed Lizzie McGuire’s (Hilary Duff) dad, Sam McGuire, on the Disney Channel series from 2001 to 2004 for a complete of Sixty five episodes — plus his position in 2003’s The Lizzie McGuire Movie. (The actor also starred within the Disney Channel Original Movie Mom’s Got a Date With a Vampire and Disney’s Max Keeble’s Big Move.)
“PERFECT,” Jamie Lee Curtis wrote in the feedback, applauding Carradine for bringing receipts amid the continued SAG-AFTRA and WGA moves.
Several lovers showed outrage on Friday over the non-residuals. One person quipped, “$0 for the best Disney dad of all time? That’s brutal,” while a second follower commented, “Why within the heck would they mail a check for $0?!? You were the best, you don’t deserve that! Makes me so mad 😠.”
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has been picketing since May in opposition to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) for hard work disputes. SAG-AFTRA joined the fight in July, preventing for higher wages and streaming residuals, and protection against the use of AI technology.
While Carradine’s check bombshell is shocking to a couple, two of his former Lizzie McGuire costars prior to now talked about how their residuals have decreased over the years.
“I do [get exams] and so they’re at all times, like, it’ll be like an in another country video or one thing. And it’s like $3.50,” Davida Williams said throughout a March episode of her and Jake Thomas’ “Living Lizzie a Very McGuire podcast.”
Williams, who played head cheerleader and one among Lizzie’s enemies, Claire Miller, from 2001 to 2003, printed: “Sometimes I don’t even hit a $1.”
Thomas — who had a bigger role on the Disney show as Lizzie’s pesky brother, Matt McGuire — famous that times have modified for TV actors.
“It was once, like, you’d need to take this large stack of check each and every month for residuals over to the financial institution and deposit them,” the 33-year-old celebrity recalled on the podcast. “But the large stack would be like, ‘Oh, this can be a massive stack. This is $8.’”

The minimum — if any — residuals tests are just one of the reasons actors are striking, and the previous cast of Lizzie McGuire have been at the picket strains.
Thomas joined the Disney strike on June 13 in strengthen of the WGA and shared a witty sign from his good friend Taylor Friedman which read: “Reboot Fair Pay + Lizzie McGuire!”
Duff, in the meantime, was spotted picketing outside Paramount Pictures on July 17. “Out there 🪧 with my ladies. We stand with our union! Let’s gooooooo,” the 35-year-old actress captioned a series of Instagram snaps from the scene.
