You might start seeing a lot more of your favorite TV actors, as their union approved a deal on Saturday allowing them to appear in multiple shows at the same time.

SAG-AFTRA has been lobbying for a decade to curtail so-called “exclusivity” agreements, which block TV series regulars from taking other jobs while they are on hiatus.

In the agreement approved by the union’s national board on Saturday, producers will be required to give TV actors a three-month window after each season in which they can take any job they want. That means that stars of shows may start appearing more often as guest stars — or even as regulars — on shows on other platforms and networks. The new agreement will apply to work under contracts entered into on or after Jan. 1.

Trump may have resigned from SAG-AFTRA, but he is still very much taking advantage of the union’s work in the form of his 6-figure SAG and AFTRA pensions.

According to his financial disclosure forms, which were released late on Friday and are required for his run for president in 2024, Trump took a pension from the Screen Actor’s Guild valued at between $100,000-$1 million in 2022, and a pension from the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists valued at between $15,000-$50,000. The pensions predate the merger of SAG and AFTRA in 2012, with the SAG pension being earned in 1992, when he appeared as himself in Home Alone 2, and the AFTRA pension from 1989, when he appeared in the romantic comedy Ghost’s Can’t Do It, earning a Razzie Award in the process.
