There are some articles floating around (I’ll try to dig them up when I have time later) where actors actually discuss how much they make and it really is that little. Think like 2k for a one-time spot which sounds great, but that then gets cut by taxes, fees to agents and other representatives. Also not including the time for auditioning, at-home work preparing for the actual rehearsals and filming. It’s wild. I work in the arts but not film, and I thought I had it bad.
