Telenovela Actors At Telemundo, Facing Terrible Work Conditions, Finally Unionize

Leading telenovela star Pablo Azar, who led the campaign to join SAG-AFTRA: “Sometimes you shoot 40 scenes in one single day. So it’s very demanding. … Usually you have better conditions in the US than in countries like Mexico, Colombia. But funny enough, for actors it’s backwards. Actors have better working conditions in Mexico than they have here in Miami. At least, I’m talking about Hispanic actors.”
