Have you ever wondered how actors get paid? Matt Dearing talks about why and how some actors get paid more in this industry than others. This video is for actors, but it's also for you directors and producers out there. I want to explain why and how actors get paid. New directors or new cinematographers often ask how much would an actor cost per hour?

Actors don't get paid per hour, nor should they. You as an actor get paid by your value, by your efficiency on the set. You have to be really good, really efficient. You have to listen to direction, take that direction and then be awesome when you're on the set. If you do that you get to save the production time.

For those producers that are out there look for great actors, cast great actors because they save you money. The more money you pay a great actor, the more money they're gonna save you on the back end. Think about a huge production, a massive production like Star Wars. Let's say you go to a Star Wars movie and you see that whole list of everybody at the very end. Just go down and down down. All these people that are involved in this production, they're all on set. Well guess what, if the actor that day saved you one hour, that's one hour saved, times all those people's salaries. You can take that same idea and bring it down to a student film, bring that down to a low-budget film. This is what makes the actor valuable. So that's why and how actors get paid and why actors should get paid just as much as everybody else on set.
