Union in Houston

While extras don't need union membership, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) provides valuable resources for actors.

Consider joining the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) if you're looking for extra work in Houston.

For either union, having a headshot and resume on file at the AFTRA headquarters' "extras" section is crucial.

These files are frequently checked by producers seeking extras for their projects.

Joining the Screen Actors Guild, also known as SAG-AFTRA, requires fulfilling specific criteria beforehand. The first hurdle is belonging to a different performers union for at least a year. Consider joining the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or AFTRA, as a starting point. Additionally, you'll need to have secured at least one acting role classified as a principal performer under that union's rules. While many extras begin their careers in Houston without union affiliation, the financial benefits of being a SAG-AFTRA member are significant compared to non-union membership.

Aspiring SAG members, fret no more! Working as a SAG background actor is a viable option. Just three days of work under your belt can unlock SAG membership. Houston productions are required to fill a specific quota of SAG extras each day before considering non-union actors. This means the odds are in your favor! If a scheduled SAG extra is a no-show, a lucky non-union extra might be offered a voucher to fill the spot. After accumulating three days' worth of vouchers and pay, you'll be eligible to join SAG.

Making a positive impression on the assistant director is key for non-union actors seeking a SAG voucher. Politeness is essential, so remember their name and address them respectfully. Avoid interrupting them when they're busy, and while helpfulness is appreciated, prioritize staying out of their way and focusing on your performance. Patience and adaptability are sure to be noticed. To truly stand out, consider sending a thank-you note after your time on set. The assistant director's address can be found on the Director's Guild of America website at [https://www.dga.org/]{.underline}.
