Robert Wagner

Here are some more information for Robert Wagner:

One of the biggest achievements that a beginning actor can make in his career is joining the Screen Actors Guild. Affectionately referred to as SAG, membership in this union leads to better pay, more benefits, and quite frankly, it shows that you are a professional. However, unlike the other union involved with capturing motion pictures, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or AFTRA, one needs to be asked to join SAG. Currently there are three ways.

1. You need to be a member of a comparable union for at least a year and hired at least once as a principle.

2. You have to be Taft-Hartley'ed into the union.

3. You need to sign a SAG contract as a background performer three times.

What the first part means is that you need to join another union, like AFTRA, to become eligible to join SAG a year after and are hired once as a principle actor with a speaking role.

The second requires a little bit of union history. The Taft-Hartley Act is a United States federal law greatly restricting the activities and power of labor unions. The Act was sponsored by Senator Robert Taft and Representative Fred A. Hartley, Jr. The Taft-Hartley Act amended the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA; informally the Wagner Act), which Congress passed in 1935. The term Taft-Hartley has a special meaning in the entertainment industry. Specifically, for film and television actors, an actor not in the union who becomes a "principal performer" (says a line) is immediately eligible to join the Screen Actors Guild and is covered under the SAG contract with the production company for 30 days, at which point he or she must either join SAG or cease working on any union productions. This allows SAG to get around the rules forbidding closed shops by providing a mechanism for new members to join the union.

The third way is probably most difficult way to join the union simply due to the fact that it takes providence, personality, and persistence.

Since there is a lot of competition to join the union here in LA, the best way is to try and join before you get here. There is a final caveat for joining SAG. Printed on the back of every member card in bold letters is Global Rule One. This refers to the by law of the union that says that once you join, you can only work on union projects.

Recently, Global Rule One has been applied to internet productions. So this means that if one were to work on a non-union project, even a student film, one could loose their membership in the union. So make sure that before you join, you have enough experience and material to create a demo reel, so that way when you are able to join you can hit the ground running.
