NON-UNION ACTOR'S NETWORK



I just found out about an interesting new organization that has as its goal
to unite non-union actors around the country. It's called the Non-Union
Actors Network
, and I think it's a worthy goal. If you are a non-union
actor, think about registering on this website. Right now it seems to be in its infancy, and doesn't offer much, but hey, this is your chance to get involved, and to make something interesting happen. Communities won't unite without somebody starting it off, and it's high time that Non-Union actors share best practices, and further their craft.


Of course, I have to say that given the chance, most actors would probably jump right into the Union (SAG, or Equity) because the unions are pretty much where there's a lot of paying work. But there are plenty of non-union jobs that are respectable, well-paying, and also good art. (or at least 2 out of these 3!)

Please feel free to pass this on to your friends who are actors.
