About the Book

The Film and TV Actor's Pocketlawyer is an educational handbook for actors to use and reference whenever they are presented with an underlying contract for a talent management deal, a talent agency deal, a series regular role for a television show, or a speaking role for a major independent or motion picture film and the book is organized into six helpful chapters:

  • Chapter One: The Talent Management Agreement
  • Chapter Two: The Talent Agency Agreement
  • Chapter Three: First Television Series Regular Role
  • Chapter Four: First Major Indie or Motion Picture Role
  • Chapter Five: SAG-AFTRA FAQs
  • Chapter Six: Spearheading Your Own Projects

The first four chapters summarize the most important areas to look out for when negotiating and signing certain agreements commonly signed by actors, while also providing general industry standard norms and tips to be aware of as they pertain to each area. And the last two chapters address commonly asked questions regarding basic SAG-AFTRA actor rights, and the dos and don'ts when actors spearhead their own small writing and/or film projects. Although there many legal handbooks out there in the market for music industry folk and filmmakers to use and quickly reference, there are absolutely none for the actor. As such, this legal and educational handbook was created for the actor in mind.

After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley as a full ride Regents' & Chancellor's Scholar, with cum laude honors in History, he then moved to study law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (Yeshiva), the nation's premiere Jewish institution with one of the top-ranked entertainment and IP law programs in the nation, where he served as the school's first non-Jewish student body president. With an eclectic background of employment and experiences in litigation, copyright law and in-house counsel work as an entertainment attorney for past employers such as the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, CJ Entertainment America, and East West Artists, David now spends most of his time negotiating deals, drafting contracts and advising top companies and talent in areas related to film, music, television, digital, licensing and books.
