Deadline caught up with the two stars, where Dylan first introduced himself as Dermot, before the real Dermot joined him.

“Because fair is fair,” Dermot shared of the importance of the strike going on, right alongside the WGA Strike. “We have simple proposals that are being ignored right now. It’s pretty disturbing. So in an unprecedented show of unity, for the cause of the actors and writers.”

Dylan added, “We came out together, on this most important topic because we feel that it’s time. It’s time for wages to increase. It’s time for more residuals, and it’s time to protect ourselves from AI.”

Dylan and Dermot‘s names were first poked fun at during an SNL sketch.
