Ben Whitehair
Candidate: Convention Delegate
Candidate Bio
I’m a proud SAG-AFTRA member and working actor with credits in over 100 projects, including work alongside Oscar and Emmy winners in film (Vengeance, Bromates, Gold), television (Better Call Saul, NCIS: Origins, 9-1-1: Lone Star), dubbing, looping, commercials, and more.
I previously served as Executive Vice President of SAG-AFTRA, supporting President Fran Drescher in leading our 160,000+ member union. I often chaired national board and Executive Committee meetings, helped oversee our $100M+ annual budget, and served on the TV/Theatrical/Streaming negotiating committee that secured a historic $1 billion contract.
I also founded and chaired the NextGen Performers (NGP) Committee, which grew from a single local group to a national movement empowering younger members across the country.
I’m deeply committed to building an inclusive, transparent, and member-driven union—one that protects all of us on the job and ensures we’re respected and fairly compensated for our work.
