Kinda confused wit union stuff

So based of the little bit of research I did. You can work union (SAG-AFTRA) or non-union. And apparently, in order to join SAG you have to work at least 3 days on a union project. So I guess my questions are. 1. Could I work for a union project on actors...

I'm gonna do it!

I've spent the last year, perhaps even longer, where I haven't had a single hour of not worrying. "Will I be a good actress?" "Will I even get into college?" "How will I afford to live?" Well, this morning I decided that I've had enough. I'm going to get into...

A Life in Parts: a great story, missing some parts?

Hey folks. I just finished Bryan Cranston's autobiography, A Life in Parts. It's a great read. It's inspiring, dark, funny, and ecomonically written. There's a lot for an actor, and a fan of Breaking Bad, to chew on. Bryan's passion for acting and ambition is...

Anyone else sharing this negative thought?

There has been lots of chat among our fellow Union members about Casting Directors in Vancouver and it has led to a rather ugly thought. Some background: Prior to 2020, when auditions were 'in the room', I would get a callback about 15 - 20% of the time and...

Looking for the interview where Joseph Quinn is talking about how Eddie was the best character that he ever played.
