How does this effect people that are both writers and actors. I know a few of The Office actors also write scripts for it. Do they just stop writing and keep acting? Seems like a bit of a weird situation.

The show stops once they are out of scripts.
You can't have a show if there are no writers/scripts. also most of the TV showrunners have said they are striking so that is major because a showrunner does way way more than simply write episodes.

Its a big deal esp if this is a long strike which many predict it will be.

Right, but my understanding was that at this moment in time most network shows have scripts stockpiled.

No they don't. Movies yes..TV no
they have essentially another months, maybe 2, worth of scripts.

So they have no episodes for Jan/Feb on. and you simply can't write them all/shoot them all at once.

So TV is FUBAR. Late night shows are FUBAR. The EMMYs/Oscars are kinda FUBAR. Film can be FUBAR cuz there is no re-writing or touch up that can be done.

UPSIDE: I optioned a script last week - yay me!
DOWNSIDE: damn strike might [censored] up my chances yet again.
