Keep in mind: If you're an actor that gets a movie, a recurring role in a series and a handful of commercials, you're having a great year. The feature is 3-4 weeks of 5-day weeks. That's $20k. The series is maybe 2 weeks. That's $10k. The commercials are a day each. That's $4k. You're killing it and you're making $34k before taxes in the place where housing is the most expensive in the United States. You're also having a hard time keeping your table-waiting job because that feature blew a big old hole in your other gig. A DGA director might get $10k for a commercial.. but he might only get two commercials a year. Welcome to Hollywood. (BTW - that $859 a day is for movies like Transformers. Movies like Primer? $100 a day.)
