The way they're speaking with Joey like every actor is making Will Smith, The Rock, Johnny Depp money.
That's like speaking to rappers like every rapper getting Drake, Jay-z and Kanye money
Some of the biggest actors on TV, that is the Game of thrones people were getting 100-200k per episode, that's like weeks of hard work per episode. Lil Baby gets 200k for standing on a stage for an hour.
The good thing with acting compared to being an artist is that you don't need to be a superstar to survive for 3 decades, there's more levels to it.
But on the flip side, if you make classics or hits and your shyt is straight royalties keep on coming long after nobody gives a fukk about you, specially now with streaming.
