ABOUT THE COVER
Twenty years apart: In 2005, Sean Astin
appeared on the cover of the union's
publication, photographed by Jeff Vespa
alongside fellow actors Angus T. Jones,
AnnaSophia Robb and Raven-Symoné. "My
family tells me I was performing straight out
of the womb, and I don't think they're kidding,"
he said at the time. Fast-forward two decades,
and Astin returns to our cover — this time as
SAG-AFTRA president — photographed by
Rocco Ceselin, with grooming by Linda Zirkus
and wardrobe styling by Gina Guzman.
