Through employment records for 1999, SAG showed that 21% of the 49,662 roles cast for TV and film were for actors of color-up from 19% the year before. African Americans were cast in 14.1% of the roles in 1999, compared to 13.4% in 1998. Latino performing roles, according to SAG, reached their highest percentage ever in 1999-4.4%. In 1998, Latino's constituted only 3.5% of all roles.
