A group of rising stars from “Obsession,” “The Pitt,” “Euphoria” and more gathered Thursday to talk about the Gen Z effect on entertainment and navigating careers in Hollywood as part of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation‘s inaugural First Act: Summer Soiree event.

The participants — Patrick Ball (“The Pitt”), Megan Lawless (“Obsession”), Tonatiuh (“Kiss of the Spider Woman”), Caitlin Reilly (“Hacks”), Darrell Britt-Gibson (“Euphoria”) and Courtney Taylor (“Ballard”) — shared their career stories and advice with a crowd of fellow young performers at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Meryl Streep Center for Performing Artists at the union’s headquarters in Los Angeles.
