Dear President Lealand:
Screen Actors Guild is proud to support New Zealand Actors Equity in seeking union protections for all performers on The Hobbit.
We applaud your efforts to make sure that our performer-colleagues working on this production receive a fair and equitable contract. Be assured that our view is unchanged. We steadfastly hold the position that actors working on The Hobbit must have the protections of a union contract, no matter where the production may move.Thank you for your leadership and your willingness to serve this just cause. Screen Actors Guild, as a union and as a member of the international community of actors and performers, stands with you.In solidarity,
Ken Howard
National President
