There was no such typical day as a background actor. It was a surreal, magical experience. It was my most fun job ever. I loved everything about it. I stop because SAG went on strike, I came back home to Philadelphia, fell in love, and never went back. Philadelphia is mostly non-union work, so even though I did community theater, I couldn't make a living off it. There was nothing hard about acting, well, sometimes, if I forgot a line, that can be awkward, but it happens to everybody.

Utilized time management, personal discipline skills, communication & critical thinking skills throughout career.  Specifically during auditions, rehearsals, performances (LIVE & Recorded), etc. I achieved maintaining the requirements for over 20 years in fields of modeling, acting, vocal performance & hosting in both U.S. & Canadian markets.

What I learned and value most from this experience... my ability to ADAPT!
Success in life is about adapting...a priceless skill!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Remote  was the only thing

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very small company and not well defined structure 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laissez Faire anything goes here 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Open email in the morning and waut to join meetings  had tons of meetings daily makes you crazy

Joining the SAG-AFTRA community was one of the best decisions and investments that I could've made for myself, and my career. Not only does it enable major financial and exposure opportunities, but it also provides a great deal of security benefits and informative networking/workshop events. It's an Entertainer's Paradise!

SAG is a good consulting/contracting company that provides opportunities to work and learn in a DOD contract role. SAG offers various positions both in the contract realm and at their headquarter offices. SAG staff are helpful and sincere when supporting their contract employees.

Long hours and had to travel all the time the job had great pay an I was around motivated workers that get the job done however the works not consistent all year which makes it hard to live comfortable

Working for the Screen Actor's Guild has been an exciting period while I have focused on my education, but now it is time to get back to being a business professional.

Great union once you are in it. Difficult to say whether looks are taken over talent, but in my case, I think more times than not, that was the case. You need a lot of experience and/or have something very special quality

The salary and management are the biggest issues. Pay is too low for the job knowledge and workload required especially compared to other Unions. The managers micro manage and create an awkward environment.

Enjoyed working with many Talents and being able to serve. Work within an Industry that I have been trained to work in. Still being able to still be associated with many of my former co workers.
