Shownotes

 We've got two representative plaintiffs that purport to essentially represent a group of similarly situated people. And in this case, they talk about potentially hundreds, if not thousands of similarly situated actors. The first question I have is, is to what extent do these two actors, pursuant to their SAG agreement, have the right to sue um, in light of the claims?

In other words, they're members of a union. They are represented by that union, and typically the union steps in for them to advocate their professional position. This is a claim that, that, as I read it, gives, would at least give rise to the question, do these two individuals, by virtue of being SAG Actor members, do they have a right to sue in their individual capacity?

In today's court filing. We look at two actors, two voice actors. Who have sued Lovo for misappropriation and misuse of their voices. It's fascinating in that the actors actually didn't know it had happened until they heard themselves on a podcast.
