NZ Equity issued a press release last month expressing "their shock and disappointment over the decision to allow a US performer to enter the country and take work away from a New Zealander." They were reacting to the government's decision to allow American actor Vincent Gallo to enter the country to film a beer advertisement in Queenstown in March. Dave Maddigan and Tandi Wright, spokespeople from the Technicians Guild and Actors Equity, discussed the issues raised by the Gallo affair and whether there will be repercussions for the industry here on Radio New Zealand's Arts on Sunday programme on Sunday 4 April.
