There's never been a time in history, no matter what the public thinks, when actors have been paid more than they should be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of talented actors still have to pay their bills.
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.
Actors make less than you think.
I think it's really odd, too, that the public is so privy to how much money the actors make and what movies cost. It seems to me to be beside the point. When I go to a movie I really don't want to think about the money. I want to see the story.
Whenever a critic mentions the salary of an actor, I'm thinking, He's not talking about the movie.
The one thing you can ask, I think, is that actors get paid a living wage. I would like it if all the repertory theatres that currently exist could do that. It would make a huge difference.
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.
There is a huge gap between the remuneration of an actor and actress.
It is about time that TV actors were paid as well as film stars.
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.
