Joining Screen Actors Guild

Three general rules that might help you understand membership!
1) An actor can join SAG through the Taft-Hartley Act, which makes it possible for an actor to work on a SAG-recognized project for 30 days, even if he or she is not a member.
2) An actor may be able to joinSAG if he or she can prove that they have worked or are expected to work on a SAG-recognized project.
3) Actors may be able to join SAG if they can prove that they have been a member of another actor union, such as the Actors’ Equity Association, and they have had a lead (principal) role while a member of that union.
