American actors continue to work, albeit without a contract, which is good news for the British Columbia film and television industry.

That's because should Screen Actors Guild (SAG) members, whose contract expired June 30, vote to strike, more than half of the province's TV series would shut down, and so would the largest feature film currently shooting in Vancouver.

A work stoppage would halt television series Kyle XY, The L Word, Psych, Stargate Atlantis and Supernatural. Another series that uses SAG actors, Eureka, has a summer hiatus break from Aug. 2 to Sept. 23, while Battlestar Galactica, finishes shooting next Wednesday, which would clear it by the time a strike vote was called and then counted.
