Well, I had to shave the beard - which was painful - I haven't seen my face in 10 years - but I am now officially SAG eligible.  As soon as I receive my paychecks from Turn: Washington's Spies, I'll go down to the local Atlanta office and submit my forms and be a "professional actor".  Pretty cool stuff.
It's a big step up (hopefully) and my agent has offered to make introductions to her people up in NYC.  2017 could be a huge year for me.  Fingers crossed!
