Equity (formerly British Actors' Equity Association) is the trade union for actors, stage managers and models in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 1930 by a group of West End performers. Equity was the last of the closed shop unions in the UK. This was made illegal in 1981; it is now no longer a requirement that a professional actor be a member of Equity. Equity can only have one actor with any particular name on its books.

  • Equity (formerly British Actors' Equity Association) is the trade union for actors, stage managers and models in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 1930 by a group of West End performers. Equity was the last of the closed shop unions in the UK. This was made illegal in 1981; it is now no longer a requirement that a professional actor be a member of Equity. Equity can only have one actor with any particular name on its books. This has resulted in several stage names, such as David Jason (born David White), David Walliams (born David Williams), Mark Lamarr (born Mark Jones), Frank Skinner (born Christopher Collins) and David Tennant (born David McDonald).
