How do actors get in the union?
Eligibility for membership in SAG-AFTRA is fairly straightforward. Prospective members need only have had a speaking role in any SAG-AFTRA-affiliated production. Non-speaking roles, such as background actors, can also be eligible if they meet a minimum number of working days on union-affiliated productions.
