Members KMan101 Posted April 22, 2019 Members Share Posted April 22, 2019 Why do people think actors are automatically rich? You'd be surprised ... I don't know his financial situation but it's a little naive to think he still has Generations money Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted April 22, 2019 Members Share Posted April 22, 2019 Also, correct me if I'm wrong, actors still get paid their guarantees even if they don't work. He probably didn't have the best salary, especially compared to his contemporaries, his negotiating power wasn't great because you know this show would be quick to drop him if he pushed back. And I'm sure his guarantee was also pretty low, 1-2 episodes a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 22, 2019 Members Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'm pretty sure they get paid for their guaranteed episodes, unless that's changed. I imagine the guarantee was low. I mean, if he's guaranteed four episodes a month, if he appears in 2, I imagine he gets paid for the other two. Unless we're all totally wrong on how that kind of thing works?

Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 22, 2019 Members Share Posted April 22, 2019 And let's not pretend that Sony/Y&R/CBS doesn't intend to try to make bank off of this real-life tragedy. The ad space has already been sold at higher cost in anticipation of a higher viewer count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 22, 2019 Members Share Posted April 22, 2019 Agreed. It's also expensive living in Los Angeles. I imagine the majority of folks spend their money and don't save and invest. Not saying him, I have no idea, of course. (And again, not saying Kristoff, but it's easy to blow through cash when you have any sort of substance addiction ... not saying he did! just another example ...) It's not like, say, Geoffrey Owens was set for life doing The Cosby Show back in the 80s and 90s ... not sure why folks assume being an actor on television affords them this great lifestyle where they are never hurting for money ...

Members John Posted April 22, 2019 Members Share Posted April 22, 2019 Okay 33k is a lot but to AE who has millions of customers and for them to write that off would be nothing Im not upset that the estate may have to pay it, more that it was a news story. This isnt an attack on SON because im sure they were made aware of this story and chose to share it but my question who leaked the story inm the first place and could AE being trying to get publicity out of someone's death?
