Rebecca Damon, executive vice president and New York president of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) labor union said Blum was a “tireless advocate” for fellow performers.
“I always appreciated Mark’s clear perception of complex situations,” Damon wrote of Blum, a former SAG-AFTRA board member. “He always spoke the truth and did a great service in informing members of our community about the ins and outs of the union whenever he had the opportunity.”
