Tammy Hunt, when do you feel is the best time for an actor to become SAG? I know quite a few who hesitate when they become eligible because they aren't as sure about the best time to go for it;

What a great list. 100% correct. I might also add that - "having all of your marketing materials (headshots, reel, social media, resume) looking professional" also means that those materials are all telling the same story. If you walk around looking like Joan Jett but your website is pink and yellow with cursive writing, then you are telling the wrong story to casting.
