This needs to be brought up and discussed all the time every where. The history of unions, agents, lawyers, publicist and managers in Hollywood is a LONG LONG strong history.
Society acts like actors get paid so highly, have so many privileges, benefits and treated so well because there simply amazing 🤩!!!!
NOPE. All actors are average like the rest of us HOWEVER -They went into a business HEAVILY unionized for generations and still very union strong. THEN they have an agent that represents them, a manager that manages there career, a lawyer that makes sure the contracts aren’t to predatory, and a publicist! That’s many levels of a community and representation on THERE behalf. yes They all get a cut of a much BIGGER pie they helped there Talent get and maintain but it is extremely worth it for the talent to have them and pay them that cut.
In reality we all need this in every job. Humans have shown to not give the right share to employees unless made to. The lower in the totem pole the more not less protection you should have. And the stronger we should stick together.
