We Love L.A.: Why California Needs a Bigger Tax Incentive Plan to Rebuild the Entertainment Capital of the World
California needs a bigger production tax incentive program to bring film and TV lensing back to Hollywood, actor PJ Byrne writes in a guest column.
While I was out of the country shooting in Ireland, I felt helpless as my family back in Los Angeles was caught between two raging wildfires, evacuating with so many others as we waited to find out if our home was still standing. And the activity spurred by TV and movie production isn’t just about wages and direct expenditures, it also means cast and crew spreading money around town at restaurants, local hotels, supermarkets, gas stations and myriad other businesses. Actor PJ Byrne ‘s latest film is the Oscar-nominated “A Complete Unknown.” He’s in production at present on the USA Network drama series “John Grisham’s The Rainmaker,” and he will be back on the big screen in 2026’s “Flowervale Street” alongside Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.
