Under the terms of the actorsstrike, SAG work like commercials, soaps, and variety shows are all still fair game.
SAG-negotiated voiceover work for animated projects, video games, and dubbing is more of a gray area. SAG insiders indicate that these sorts of contracts may be permitted as well, but say union members can’t move forward with such projects without approval from SAG-AFTRA’s national board.that exceptions can also be made for “truly independent projects”—ones not produced, financed, or distributed by the studios represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP.
What won’t be permitted is promotion of work done under TV and theatrical contracts—which means that as long as the strike continues, actors won’t be able to boost their film and television work through photo shoots, interviews, social media posts, or press of any kind. They won’t be able to attend premieres or awards shows, either.
