Way back in the early 80s the place I where worked often had volunteers/interns that trained with us. One I've always remembered. His father was a well known actor on a successful and long running tv series. Somehow in conversation R Reagan came up and the volunteer said 'Oh no, his name is not allowed to be spoken in our home!!'. It was because of the way RR had sold out the actors guild. Even tho' this guys father's show had run for years, he got no residuals from it due to the deal made with the studios. I always think of that when I hear about RR as the head of SAG. Willing to screw over his fellow actors for his own gain (he was not only an actor but also a producer).
I've since read that Reagan was a confidential informant for the FBI, according to classified documents, and as president of SAG he provided actors files to FBI agents.
What a stellar guy...
