I would not be surprised if PF is already a member of SAG. It may have lapsed since Equus though. You pay your money, you get your membership. I would not be at all surprised if Equity UK has some sort of Global Rule One themselves.

Yes, I was still in NY when the Pryce/Miss Saigon fiasco hit the fan -- I was pretty shocked by how ugly the whole thing became. It split the US acting community into opposing camps and took a long time to heal.

I'm pretty sure PF must be a member of SAG -- he's got a couple of US tv roles on his resume and I think you're only allowed one before you have to join. And yes, all it takes to keep you membership up to date is paying the dues (my mother hasn't done SAG work in 25 years, but she's still a member).
