What does SAG Franchised mean?
According to SAG, "The Union “franchises” talent agents throughout the United States. A franchised agent is someone who has entered into an agreement with the Union setting forth certain terms and conditions of a SAG-AFTRA member’s relationship with an agent.
Although agents primarily seek out work opportunities for actors, they often do much more. They also help to ensure young performers are working under safe conditions, assist the Union in enforcing its contracts and help the parents understand their obligations regarding their child’s employment. There’s a reason so many actors thank their agents in their acceptance speeches at awards shows. The right agent becomes a friend and partner in nurturing a successful career. So choose wisely before signing with one."
