Sean Astin Hoping To Follow The Legacy Of Former SAG Prexy Mom Patty Duke, Declares Candidacy On Membership First Ticket
After indelible roles in The Lord Of Rings trilogy, Rudy and Goonies, Sean Astin is vying for a a new one. He’s declared his candidacy for the National Board of the Los Angeles Board of SAG-AFTRA and as a delegate. When I interviewed Astin recently for a 20 year look back on the uphill battle making LOTR, Astin mentioned his aspiration to do this, and the importance to him of living up to the legacy of his late mom Patty Duke, who served as SAG president from 1985-88. His father is the late The Addams Family star John Astin.
