Mister Underhill has been trapped in the Barrow!
The RotK gang was a bit disorganized. Sometimes when you watch these kinds of things, you realize how much actors really do need writers.

Astin's speech was referring to some ugly internal strife that has marked SAG politics over the past few years. One large and divisive issue is a series of failed attempts to merge with sister performers' union AFTRA. The very public and bitter in-fighting isn't projecting the sort of strong, united, committed image you want your union to have when they go to negotiate contracts with the producers.
