Jeff Goldblum Helps Actors Secure Health Insurance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live
Goldblum cast struggling actors as himself to help them meet SAG-AFTRA's earnings threshold.
- Goldblum's initiative aimed to help actors qualify for union health coverage by casting them in roles on the show.
- Actors needed to earn at least $27,000 annually to secure health insurance through SAG-AFTRA.
- Several actors, just shy of the earnings requirement, performed as 'Jeff Goldblum' to gain the necessary income.
- This is the second time 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' has used this method to assist actors with health insurance.
- In 2022, Kerry Washington also helped actors meet their insurance earnings through guest hosting.
