    I saw online something about American productions filming in Canada because it’s cheaper (knew about that one) but I also saw someone say they cast Australians because it’s cheaper. Is that true? If it is, why?

    Joining Actra

    What is the best way to go about joining Actra. I know how to get in, as you need 3 professional credits. Is their any easier way or can you just do one principal role and get it? Seems like it is easier for U.S. actors to join SAG than it is for us Canadian...
