Jeff Goldblum Hires Actors for Health Insurance on TV

In a heartfelt gesture during his last night hosting *Jimmy Kimmel Live*, actor Jeff Goldblum took the opportunity to assist young actors in need of health insurance. Goldblum explained that working-class members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) must meet a minimum income threshold each year to qualify for health coverage, a challenge that many face in the competitive entertainment industry. To address this issue, the show organized a casting call to hire actors who were close to meeting the income requirement. Among the actors was Sean Moran, who approached Goldblum dressed in a style reminiscent of the star himself. Moran revealed he was just $401 short of qualifying for health insurance, which he intended to use for a podiatrist visit. Goldblum emphasized the struggles many actors encounter, noting that sometimes they are only one role away from reaching the necessary earnings for health coverage. Throughout the segment, various actors showcased their best Goldblum impersonations while sharing their personal stories about the importance of health insurance. Many expressed their need for coverage to address medical issues, such as dermatological care or dental work. The segment highlighted the financial pressures faced by actors, with SAG-AFTRA stipulating that members must earn at least $27,000 or work a minimum of 104 days within a year to qualify for health benefits. Goldblum's initiative not only entertained but also shed light on a critical issue affecting the acting community.
