I used to be a stage actor. I've spent time on TV and movie sets as an extra and a guest of an actor and a producer. I have arrived on set at 5am and been there until 12am. I know that's not unusual.

I also know folks who work in other trades who work the same hours for MASSIVELY LESS money. Hell, the actor friend whose set I visited didn't make $750k per episode of her syndicated tv show. But she worked as much as I bet Ashton works. Fuck that entire thing. I mean, yay for those who make that bread - nice work if you can get it. But I am not about to cry a single tear about the hours those ppl (the one percenters) work and I'm not going to agree they 'deserve' those outrageous salaries. Neither do the producers. Or directors. Agents. On and on. Fuck those salaries. LOL
