And my answer is so? So what if you never work again. If you get a job at McDonald's and after 10 days get fired you should get paid residuals? Since when should failure to maintain employment be rewarded?

Artie on the Howard Stern show talks about how he loves Christmas because they always play the movie Elf several times during that month. He was in that movie for a few minutes and worked for a few days on it. He gets about $500-$1000 a year in residuals.

And how many actors are there in that movie? dozens? each getting a piecve like that or more. I'm sure studios take residuals into acount when they price movie theater tickets, DVD, rentals, PPV, cable/TV deals etc etc. Which is why I'm paying $8 to see the movie and $17 for the DVD.
