NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Caption Jeremy Piven looks well on the SAG Awards red carpetNo agreement has been reached in the Jeremy Piven grievance hearing.

Piven appeared Thursday at the session requested by the producers of “Speed-the-Plow,” which the performer abruptly quit in December after his doctor said he was suffering from mercury poisoning.

But after hearing from both parties, a panel composed of Actors’ Equity and Broadway League representatives were unable to reach a unanimous decision. A joint statement issued by the union and the Broadway producers’ trade association said “the producers have the right, as a next step, to proceed to arbitration.”
