Kristen Bell, formerly of the Veronica Mars fame has shown her support for the writers who have gone out to the picket lines and protested in the WGA strike. However, the young actress who now plays Elle Bishop on the highly anticipated NBC series, Heroes, is also concerned about the show's other individuals who are left with no work to do so close to the holidays.

"I one-hundred percent support the writers and support the directors and obviously support SAG, but what no one's really acknowledging is that none of the crew can work," Bell said in a conversation with IGN, while she was at the picket lines outside Universal Studios on Tuesday. "I'm in support, but my heart really goes out to the crew members who haven't had work for two months before Christmas? So just even for that alone I hope that we can all come to a settlement soon where everybody gets their just desserts, you know?"

Bell added that the writing staff of Heroes were already joined by fans on the picket lines that day, a move that the 27-year-old actress believes would mean a lot to the writers. She also thinks that having the fans along in the strike would send a strong message to the studios.

"I think the more people they see out here and the more consistent it is, the better," Bell said. "It died down for a minute when they went back to the [negotiating] table, but I think the stronger everybody's attitudes are kept up? [the more it's] acknowledged that this needs to be settled and soon."

In fact, it isn't only the cast and fans of Heroes who have gone out to show their support for the writers. The show's production staff has also been in the picket lines, as creator/executive producer Tim Kring and co-executive producer Jeph Loeb have been spotted amongst the crowd.

"Jeph and Tim have been very supportive," Kristen Bell admitted. "and I've gotten a couple of messages from Tim just of moral support saying ?We're still all here and waiting to get back to work and I hope you're doing well.' They check in. They don't just sort of abandon you and I think that's a reason the show is successful, because they do run it like a family."
