To Join Actors Equity or Not Join Actors Equity... That Is the Difficult Question
by Spencer Glass - Sep 20, 2025
Equity work, in most cases, does pay more and offers the protections we deserve. Union contracts are built on the premise that artists’ time, health, and energy are valuable. Non-union work, on the other hand, often doesn’t meet that standard. It can feel like you’re pouring yourself into a role only to realize the paycheck doesn’t cover rent. That’s a frustrating reality, and deeply unfair to actors.
