There’s lots of buzz about the strike getting settled any minute now ─ and not a moment too soon for guys like Eric Hulett, a decorator buyer who was on the acclaimed show Pushing Daisies for ABC/Warner Bros.  “We did the pilot and eight shows before we got shut down.  It’s been very tough,” he says. Hulett is a third-generation Hollywood craftsman, his grandfather was a grip for Hal Roache (Laurel & Hardy) and his father, Don, was a well-known prop master. “I’ve been lucky, as I was able to move into the talk show circuit and do stuff like Dr. Phil, but for the rank and file, the strike’s been really bad news. I’ve been doing this for 32 years and I’ve never seen it get so tough for people. We’re all praying they settle now.”
