Ken Howard has thrown his hat into the ring to be the next president of the Screen Actors Guild. He is on the Unite for Strength party ticket, which is the more moderate wing of the guild. Howard, who was nominated for an Emmy for HBO's "Grey Gardens," warns that SAG will pay dearly if it is not "smart and strategic" about its future, reports the Los Angeles Times. Meanwhile, Hollywood Reporter notes it's unclear who Howard will face in the race.

Ken Howard's election to national president of the Screen Actors Guild amounts to a repudiation of the uncompromising strategy that previous prexy Alan Rosenberg embodied during his four-year tenure.

With an impressive 47% of the vote after a bitter race, Howard's win for a two-year term sets the stage for the next round of contract negotiations -- and once again raises questions of a merger with sister thesp guild AFTRA.

In a brief news conference at SAG headquarters, Howard said his first task will be to reach out to DGA president Taylor Hackford, WGA West prez John Wells and AFTRA prexy Roberta Reardon to discuss bargaining strategies. The contracts for all four unions expire in 2011.
