I'm pretty sure you can belong to a union agency even if you are are non union, at least up here in SF you can. I would always try to find a SAG franchised agent regardless of the status of eligibility and membership,

Ken, Yea I was looking into that, because the last film I was apart I had talked to a SAG actor and he said that was what he was going to do. So I am looking into agencies in Atlanta, but I haven't ch...
