There are rules within Hollywood to keep it as insular as possible. And because producers want to keep SAG happy (Since the producers guild knows if one union goes down, they could as well) they enforce them.
This. The producers, directors, and actors guilds are tight, and Hollywood blacklists are real and harsh.

They still can't force anyone to do anything. That's like saying Harvey Weinstein forced women to watch him masturbate or whatever else they did.

How can one be forced to join a union? The fuck does one not in the union care about what role the union considers union roles?
Old monopolies at work. I guess it's a bit like how you can't be a German indie musician without having to deal with the GEMA at some point.

Supply and demand. If every starry eyed teen from Kentuky that moved to Hollywood became a paying actress then JLaw wouldn't have 40 Mil contracts.
There's a billion different films being done every year that won't make up what they cost and will be sold and resold ten times to different tv channels to fill in the gaps. Made for tv movies, tv serials, shady concilliatory contractual bullshit to renew and close contracts/or maintain IP's, etc.
Here's an example: white river kid. Ever heard of that movie? It stars Antonio Banderas and Bob Hoskings. It was obviously a film made because of contractual obligations so it was only released in Spain and Hungary.
But still, you need hundreds of hours of manpower to make that product and hundreds of extras for those crowds of people that appear in the shots. I remember reading in some forum about a guy that made a living as a SAG extra that you got bonuses if you helped move boxes (not fix the lighting or anything that interferes with another guild's duties), got your own wardrobe, etc.
The thing is, your employer and all associated management staff can get into hot water if they hire non SAG crew because they are as replaceable as the extra to their higher ups if the SAG decides to make an example of their production crew.

You're being deliberately dense. No one is saying "force" as in "you will do this and no earthy force will be able to stop you, if you don't you will die." "Forced" means "you will do this or else you can forget ever getting anywhere in this business."

The only surprising thing is that with the thousands of people in the know in hollywood not one person had the courage or selflessness to expose this shit. Fuck the money and hollywood career. Get a real job. I know these people are accustomed to easy work but nothing was stopping any of them from going into a different career if they were blackballed. It would also be a good reason to get the fuck out of imploding california. If this was only going on for a few years then maybe I'd have some sympathy. But this shit has been going on for decades and seriously not one person? Fuck hollywood and fuck actors.

This also explains pretty nicely why so many were so anti-trump. Especially when the grab the pussy tape came out and they were all trying to pin him as a rapist. They are all guilt-ridden over their tacit consent in covering up mass hollywood sexual assaults and rape for years and years.

It's a bit like whenever war crimes are exposed and everyone in the entire chain of command feigns ignorance. It's all A-Ok as long as it stays in their safe space.

That still isn't forcing. Indie projects exist for a reason and with the internet being what it is those projects get plenty of exposure.

Using the term, "forced," implies a lot harsher of a situation than you guys are stating in this day and age.

So how long until she cheat behind his back? Or him behind her back?
He looks incredibly beta, unlikely he will do anything. If she had arrived in Hollywood a few months earlier she might have been able to fuck her way into a small role, but with the heat on them now I doubt anyone there will risk it just for a 6 like her.
So nobody's going to mention that this nigga just called Marzgurl a 6?
