SAG Aims at Woods

Joe Futterer has at least one thing right [“SAG Has Wrong Target,” Letters, Aug. 13]. The Screen Actors Guild is not going to do “diddly” for Tiger Woods’ commercial endeavors.

He is already a mega-star, but the talent Tiger made it on is golfing, not acting. SAG’s commercial contracts protect the noncelebrity’s rights, the working actors who are not “sitting around,” but instead go out on dozens of auditions, never getting paid a nickel for the numerous times we are not the right person to promote the product.

The reward for the daily rejection is finally earning “bucks and benefits” when our exact skills are what the advertisers want for their particular product. We are angry at the “corporate guys,” but I for one am also angry at Tiger Woods. My husband and I have risked our small, modest home to uphold the SAG strike, and Tiger disregards the strike to add more millions to his fortune.
