It has become glaringly obvious that unless an actor is a marquee name, he will be paid as little as possible by producers.
Period!
SAG-AFTRA has had an ongoing fight with several commercial advertising agencies that simply do NOT want to pay SAG-AFTRA members what their contribution to commercials is worth!
A decade ago, a commercial actor could earn enough money to purchase a house. Today, if we're not spokesmen for a product, we'd have to book a dozen or more spots in one calendar year to live semi-comfortably in L.A.
When I was bumped up to a principal performer on a Nespresso commercial featuring George Clooney and Danny DeVito, I just knew I was gonna make bank.
WRONG!
I might have made $15K on that spot. If that! And it ran nonstop!!!!!!
One agency that has parted ways with a SAG contract stands out ahead of the others.
BARTLE BOGAL HEGARTY, do the right thing!!!!!
When You Make an Ad, Make it Union!!!
