Sean Gunn showed up outside of Netflix to picket amid the Hollywood strike over the weekend, he grabbed a graphic T-shirt, picked up a sign and got in line. Several journalists recognized him and started asking him questions. “And the next thing I knew, all of my interviews were all over social media,” he said Sunday. The actor, who appeared as a quirky yet lovable townsperson named Kirk on 'Gilmore Girls', spoke to the Hollywood Reporter from the picket line, saying he doesn’t see much money from Netflix, despite 'Gilmore Girls' being a popular show on the streaming platform. The show originally aired on the WB (and eventually the CW) from 2000 to 2007. It later became available to stream on Netflix in 2014. “It has been one of their most popular shows for a very long time, over a decade,” Gunn told the Hollywood Reporter. “It gets streamed over and over and over again, and I see almost none of the revenue that comes into that.”
