Nov. 9 (UPI) -- The nearly four-month-long Hollywood actors strike ended Thursday, prompting many film and TV stars to take to social media to celebrate their return to work.

The strike not only shut down most Hollywood productions, but also prevented actors from promoting current projects or discussing their past work.
