99% of actors are working actors. don't get it twisted.this must mean that the mainstream movies ain't paying shyt. or at least far less than what most of ya'll think.
this is why I've long been of the mind that the majority of actors that are fairly well known are just like regular people living check to check.
"As of March 2024, ZipRecruiter reported that the average salary for an actor in the United States was $56,903 per year, with a range of $15,500 to $139,500. As of July 2024, ZipRecruiter also reported that the average hourly pay for an actor was $27.36, with a range of $7.45 to $67.07. The majority of actor wages fall between the 25th percentile of $14.42 and the 75th percentile of $22.12"
shyt ain't all it's cracked up to be. The megastars of acting are the 1% just like regular jobs.
