[viali]

How do I get an equity card.. I've had paid roles and been in various tv programmes..
I am a member of spotlight

[murraymints]

Presumably apply to actors union

[bednobs]

i don't know the answer but i had to laugh at "over three roles" as it was so curiously unspecific!

[rojash]

Maybe it should read "over three, but under five..." :-)

Maybe viali means you don't have to have an equity card for your first three roles but once the figure has been exceeded you need to apply for one

That's a USA Equity link, AC. Perhaps this UK Equity link may be more appropriate...

It used to be 38 weeks' paid work before you got card - not sure now. Check the website.

You used to have to do 40 weeks as a provisional member, but that was years ago. Not sure about the rules now.
