61·2 days agofour years of filming. He probably made about the same as a corporate director but less than a corporate vp.
While it’s more than a greeter at Walmart, it’s not megabucks.
Pay in the industry has dramatically decreased too. If you’re very successful as an actor you’ll get 3 gigs a year, probably averaging around 10 grand a role. And that’s VERY successful.
Sean here is in the star category and probably made 10x that.
That’s still not beating the average corporate salary.
Acting is hard, often 12 hour days 6 days a week with an hour off in 10 min chunks across the whole day is considered a light and easy schedule and most jobs pay 4 figures.
Long gone are the days you could do a commercial and it’d keep you afloat for 6 months.

bullet proof jacket with arms is about $600, pants about $500, helmet $700, face mask $300 (that’s if you believe the claims that they work. If you need to actually take a bullet in these things I’d double the cost).
So about $3000-6000 to sleep every night in a back-breaking, neck-wrenching set of 300lb gear in the hope of playing a practical joke on a complete stranger that means you harm.
Perhaps practice by wearing motorcycle leathers and a helmet to bed first?
Then the statistics on home invasion - not only do you need to be one of the 0.2% of people whose home is broken into, but one of the 1/3 of home invasions that happen at night (most happen in the day), and one of the 1/10 that actually require a window or a door broken or forced (most happen because a door is left unlocked) and one of the 1/10 that last longer than a simple grab-the-things-left-exposed, and then one of the 40% where the intruder is armed and the 17% where the intruder is armed with a gun.
so you have a 0.0000519228% chance of this happening.
that’s a pretty cuh-razy idea, huh Josh

ive not seen the movie but have read the original and the James Joyce.

Abrhamovic’s work is all about putting herself at risk like this. Another one of her pieces has a random audience member, from the general public, point a loaded, working gun at her.
I mean all art is stupid in a reductive outlook
The Godfather is a bunch of clips a few seconds long each arranged in such a way as to make it look as if the room which was full of technical equipment and people is actually a room with much fewer people in it who, for a couple of minutes at a time, whilst wearing makeup and being surrounded by microphones, lights and mirrors, repeatedly pretended to be mean to each other in silly voices and old clothes and said the same things over and over whilst being photographed at different angles and then stitched together to make it seem like we were invisible observers flying around at impossible angles and listening to a conversation centimeters from the speaker’s face.
