Oh sure for the common actor trying to make it I have no doubt the up and down nature of the business means that they have to struggle pretty hard to make ends meet. Its similar to contract work in many other fields, you gotta make it when you can to get you over the dry spells.

My point was just in regards to Bruce agreeing to 2 movies as a deposit on his loan was not THAT bad a deal considering that he was still going to earn a decent wage (relative to people outside of Hollywood) during the filming. It was a sweet deal even if the 2 movies had turned out to be duds.

Yeah, except it wasn't a loan, it was a "here, Bruce, have $2m" gift.

So really, he was making $600/day and a million dollars a film which, yeah, nice work when you get it.

Hah, even better. I picked the wrong career.
