"WHEN SHOULD I JOIN?" (Quote from the website)

"SAG membership is a significant rite of passage for every working actor. It is a symbol of success and of solidarity with a community of talented and accomplished artists.

However, don’t be in a hurry to join SAG. Make sure you are ready to compete as a professional. Prepare yourself by studying, performing in plays and non-union on-camera projects in order to build your resume and gain valuable experience.

When you are offered your first principal union job, consider joining the Guild, but understand it is a commitment. Once you are a SAG member, you must abide by the rules of membership:

And, whether you are a SAG member or not-- never accept work during a Guild strike! "

Answer 2

you should be required to join the Union if you appear in at least 3 seconds of film. This way you are not over worked and under payed.
