SAG stands for the Screen Actor's Guild. It is the union that represents all actors and you pretty much need to be a member of SAG to be in a movie. Check out www.sag.org for more info.

Screen Actors Guild is the nation's largest labor union representing working actors. Established in 1933, SAG has a rich history in the American labor movement, from standing up to studios to break long-term engagement contracts in the 1940s to fighting for artists' rights amid the digital revolution sweeping the entertainment industry in the 21st century. With 20 branches nationwide, SAG represents nearly 120,000 working actors in film, television, industrials, commercials, video games, music videos and other new media. The Guild exists to enhance actors' working conditions, compensation and benefits and to be a powerful, unified voice on behalf of artists' rights. Headquartered in Los Angeles, SAG is a proud affiliate of the AFL-CIO.

You can't work in a movie unless you are a SAG member.

I went to one.. meeting or whatever you'd call it. I went and listened to the director of the tv show "friends" talk about the buisness and give you tips. I'm pretty sure I've heard that they will protect you from cons and stuff you officially sign up. I didn't find it that helpful but it depends.
