Do you think actors are paid too much?

No. You get paid what you can negotiate for.

Do you think actors are paid too much?

Some yes, some no.

The majority of actors are probably paid a lot less than you imagine them to be. According to a quick Google search, the median hourly pay for an actor is $20.26. And, of course, around 85% of actors are out of work at any given moment.

So: no.

Are major movie stars who get paid X million dollars per movie overpaid? Well... also, no. It's not as though the money Tom Cruise gets paid would otherwise be redistributed to the poor; it would just go into the pockets of executives who nobody went to Mission: Impossible to see.

No, and neither are professional athletes.

They are entitled to their fair share of the massive amounts of revenue they bring in.

I wouldn't pay them so much, but I don't run a production studio.

If they get what's agreed upon, it's fine.

Tom Cruise puts 100% of his heart into making a movie and it shows and he's worth the $25 Million he commands

Yes, but not just them.

But unlike government jobs, the market can dictate what they get paid, so who cares.
