Most of the time the actors get paid beforehand for money to live off of while working on the film or tv show because they can't just wait until it premieres to get paid. We all have wondered what actors take home for their work. We figure it’s in the millions, but how much. At one point, they were taking in close to $40 million if they’re super famous but the price on the brick has gone down a bit.

Weekly performers and stunt performers earn much more than their daily counterparts, but also must work for five days to qualify for the weekly rate. These performers are each paid a minimum of $2,979 as of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. Background actors, also known as extras, are paid a $148 minimum. Special-ability background actors earn $10 more at $158. These are actors who are specifically assigned to perform certain skills, such as farming or playing sports. Performers who swim or skate on camera earn the most at $342. On low-budget productions, these same performers earn a minimum of $504 a day. These rates, however, are just the minimum that must be paid and some actors may negotiate for higher rates. Nowadays actors get both a salary and a percentage of the box office and as everyone said before it does matter who you are and what company your working for, independent films may only pay you in box office receipts or if the actor is big enough they sometimes do it for free!
