LOS ANGELES (AP) - The number of movie and television roles for Screen Actors Guild members dropped 9.3 percent last year, with supporting actors among the hardest hit, the guild said.

So-called runaway production, in which projects are filmed outside the United States, was one reason for the decline, SAG said.
