TL;DR

Lord of the Rings fave Sean Astin is throwing his hat in the ring to replace Fran Drescher as SAG-AFTRA president this fall. He’s assembled a star-studded ticket: Michelle Hurd for secretary-treasurer, Joely Fisher to lead the L.A. local, Lisa Ann Walter as first vice-president and David Jolliffe returning as second vice-president.

Fun fact: if he wins, Astin will follow in mom Patty Duke’s footsteps—she became only the second woman to head the Screen Actors Guild back in 1985.
