Or they get a part then don't get another job for 2-3 years. Acting is lucrative for some, but it is basically like investing in the lottery. You will have a few people that hit the jackpot and make big money. you will have some that win enough each year to keep themselves going and most will never get back what they put into it.

So that means they should get all this extra money because it currently doesn't pay them well enough to live off? Um that's called LIFE. In what other job in the REAL world do you get paid like this? in REAL jobs you paid ONCE for doing a job. As is they get paid for doing a "job" I eman $800 and you might do is stand there and no have any lines. Sign me up. then you get paid if that goes into syndication, then you get paid for it if it goes on DVD. Now they want money from online? Ok out of work "actor", I know you really could use some cash from that small 30 second part in a epsiode Night Court from 1986, but get over it already, acting just wasn't in the cards for you.
