Love it.»Given their love for their industry, the couple recognizes the challenges it faces currently, including the ongoing strikes for the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.«It's easy for actors to deal with being out of work, but all the satellite industries that are involved, that's hard,» Danson said. «People are losing houses, so it's the real deal.»That situation is part of the reason Steenburgen and Danson.
