Reinstated! or Why SAG is No Help.

So I have finally been reinstated into my Diet Mountain Dew commercial! My agents busted some serious butt and got everything taken care of today around 1pm. I would like to point out however that it was the ad agency BBDO that finally took care of the problem.
My agents had several phone conversations with the people over at SAG's claim department and they were no help whatsoever. Which makes me wonder exactly why I pay my union what I do when they don't even work for you when you have issues regarding your contract. I mean, isn't that what they're there for? Isn't that what all those people we elect to office every year are supposed to be taking care off?
Oh well, let it be a lesson to us all. Have your agents go directly to the ad agency and bypass SAG altogether if you ever run into a situation like this. Thanks again to my agents over at Clear Talent Group (www.cleartalentgroup.com) and my fellow actor Darrin Jacques for helping me get all of this squared away.
Happily once again you friendly neighborhood bank robber,
C-
