The union that stands for 10s of countless stars and various other home entertainment and media specialists has actually chosen Sean Astin as its brand-new head of state.
On Friday, SAG-AFTRA chose Astin– a star that showed up in “The Lord of the Rings,” “Unfamiliar person Points” and “Rudy”– to be successful Fran Drescher as its head of state. Astin is the kid of the late Academy Prize-winning starlet Patty Fight it out and John Astin, that starred in the 1960s television collection “The Addams Household.”
Sean Astin beat Chuck Slavin in a 79% to 21% ballot. Michelle Hurd was chosen secretary-treasurer.
Patty Fight It Out, Sean Astin’s mommy, acted as the Display Casts Guild’s head of state from 1985-1988.
According to its internet site, SAG-AFTRA combines Display Casts Guild and the American Federation of Tv and Radio Artists. It stands for about 160,000 stars, commentators, program reporters, professional dancers, DJs, program hosts, tape-recording musicians and others.
Under Drescher, the union has actually browsed a set of strikes including movie and tv stars and a different one including computer game and multimedias entertainers.
