ASK AARON - September 2002 Answer

From Jamie, GA

I was cast as a non-union member of a union commercial. I was cast as a principle, but the director did a Taft Hartley and used real architects, in this case. Will I have to join SAG even though I netted $520?

Dear Jamie:

You do not have to join the Screen Actors Guild (the union) until you are planning on working on another union project. It is best to contact your local SAG or AFTRA office to get all of the details. You can purchase the National Directory of SAG and AFTRA Offices from my office (410) 764-8270, or get it free when you purchase my book, How to Become a Successful Commercial Model, at my web site. It will give you the phone numbers of all of the offices throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Congratulations on your booking.
