How much did you get paid for 1 night of being in front of a camera?
Also, I don't really care about the specific ulmer scale. It's a good tool to discuss the popularity of actors, you can replace D-list with E, F, G, etc etc. until the point makes sense to you.
Why do you think this is about working with popular IPs?
How is this even a question? I was very clear. But to be clearer for those of you in the back, what are the actors going to act in if they can't act in the movies which the studios own the rights to?
Working two jobs to survive
Okay, bud. I don't think you know what the word 'survive' means. It's not like these people are 'surviving' off of peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches. Try to learn the difference between 'needs' and 'wants' before you make this about 'survival.'
coupled with the fact that the studios want to steal their likeness and use it in perpetuity using CG.
Yes, I have no sympathy for the people who subject themselves to this abuse.
