Hi Claudia,
The three voucher rule does still apply, but it is not advisable to go that route. It is sometimes a little harder to get the SAG vouchers/SAG waivers (or so I have heard). But be sure to read my posts here about joining SAG. Don’t rush joining since being non-union gives you many more options until you start getting principal SAG roles. As I understand it, you don’t have to join when you get three SAG vouchers, but you can join in that case. If anyone knows more about this, please post additional information! In the meantime, I’ll research this a little more. Thanks. –Debbie

Thank you for the info! Have you ever heard about background actors being “Taft-Hartley” d and would one HAVE to join after that or is the 3 voucher rule still in effect for that background… or was that a mistake by the production company?
