Ken Howard RIP

Sherman Oaks, California (march 23, 2016) - We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ken Howard.

Anyone who ever met Ken knew of his devotion to acting and to his fellow actors. Even as he achieved success in his own acting career, he never lost sight of the need to advocate for working actors. At the bargaining table, Ken spoke sparingly, but eloquently and intelligently, in support of improvements in working conditions for actors. It was no surprise that Ken became the leader of the movement to unite SAG and AFTRA, something that had twice been attempted -- and twice failed -- before he became president of the Screen Actors Guild. It took someone with his forceful personality, considerable intelligence and immutable commitment to the betterment of working actors, broadcasters and recording artists to unite them in a single union. This, together with his remarkable portrayals of characters onstage and screen, will become his enduring legacy -- one fitting for such a remarkable man. We will miss him greatly.
