Funnyman Rob Schneider has been elected to the SAG-AFTRA national board representing San Francisco and northern California, defeating incumbent Katheryn Howell and three other challengers. Howell, however, was re-elected president of the local.
Schneider’s election is a victory for Membership First, the union’s opposition party led by Matthew Modine, whom Schneider is supporting for national president of SAG-aftra.
