I get he probably got paid lower than the other actors, but 250k in 2003 is like 450k today. More than a large majority of the workforce makes in a decade.
He is talking like he was in poverty. Probably was just living beyond his means.
14 months, not several years. They did it in one stint to avoid having to work around a bunch of scheduling conflicts with such a large cast. And a few short follow-up shoots later I believe.
four 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.
How many fancy cocktail parties your parents had to go to? How many nice suites and high class escorts did they have to rent for them? How much coke did they have to bring to the after parties? Some jobs pay more but also have way more expenses.
So he made about 6-8x more than my parents made together in a similar time frame.
My heart weeps for him.

The 250k number is what he made for all of the films combined. Years of filming. For films that grossed almost 3 billion box office alone.

More than a few follow up shots. The extra filming took place over three years. 2001 through 2003.
