Protecting and Supporting Young Performers In Today's Entertainment Industry

What do young performers need to know in 2024 and beyond, and how can their families nurture and protect them? As we navigate an era of rapid technological change and expanding media platforms, it's more important than ever to address the unique challenges and opportunities facing our youngest members. To help explore this important topic, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland is joined by former child actor Brandon Severs, actor and parent of young performer Charlie Bodin, and SAG-AFTRA National Director of Background and New York Entertainment Contracts, Stephanie Perry, who is also the staff liaison to SAG AFTRA Los Angeles Local and National Young Performer Committees. *The views expressed by the guests are their own and not that of SAG-AFTRA.
