Everyone who appears in a scene gets paid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is about time that TV actors were paid as well as film stars.
There is a vast difference in the pay package of every actor. Actors are also exploited at various levels, but when we are established, we get paid fairly well. But at times, if an actor asks for a hike, he/she may even get boycotted.
Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.
In the end, I'm an actor. I'm paid for what I bring to the screen.
There's never been a time in history, no matter what the public thinks, when actors have been paid more than they should be.
A lot of talented actors still have to pay their bills.
How much do you have to pay someone to be in a George Clooney/Alexander Payne film? Nothing! Because everyone in the world wants to be a part of it. Therefore you pay nothing. And that continues until you become something they need... I'm not that kind of actor. I'm blue collar and very replaceable.
A big part of filmmaking is gathering a group of people you can work with.
I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free - on the fringe - as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me - actors should be paid well.
If you are the kind of guy who draws in 100 million people to see his film, you've got every right to be paid accordingly, but I qualify as a character actor. I don't put a bum on a seat.
