Actors on the verge of losing SAG-AFTRA health insurance are finding support via Cheyenne Jackson's new 'One Job Away' Instagram campaign.

SAG-AFTRA is keeping Duncan Crabtree-Ireland at the negotiating table for another six years. The union’s National Board has overwhelmingly voted to extend Crabtree-Ireland’s contract through June 20, 2032, while adding chief executive officer to his existing title of national executive director. His current contract had been scheduled to expire June 21, 2028. The agreement was approved with 98.34% of the vote.

For many SAG-AFTRA members, the most frightening role in Hollywood right now may be the one they can’t book. A growing number of actors are publicly speaking out about the difficulty of maintaining health insurance through the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan as production contracts and jobs become harder to find, and annual earnings thresholds continue to rise. The issue resurfaced this month after Drake Bell revealed that he lost eligibility for coverage despite working as an actor for decades.

Hollywood may still be an American industry, but an increasingly large share of the work is happening elsewhere. A new 25-year study commissioned by the DGA, IATSE, LIUNA, SAG-AFTRA, Teamsters, WGA East and WGA West finds that the share of major U.S. studio film and television production taking place in the United States has fallen dramatically since the turn of the century.
