Do actors/actresses get paid too much?

I was watching Entertainment News when there was nothing else on. Now I usually don't watch these programs because I find it's rediculous how the paparattzi makes a huge ordeal about them going grocery shopping. (I'm getting off topic here). An artical came up about how much the highest paid actress and actor is getting for their next role in the new movies to come... They then mentioned that they were being paid, between $7 million - $20 million. Do you think that's too much for a person to make for what they do?

well as with anything else, those who pay the price to such people will be making a big amount out of it. If you are unhappy about what they are paid, dont buy the product . blessed be

I really don't think that if I decided not to buy a product that will make a huge difference in their earning. I wished it would but unfortunitly it doesn't :( thanks for replying

That is'nt to much, that goes to show that, that actor or actress were doing good in their career, they are well disciplined and highly motivated human being.

hi nixxi! yeah, i think that actors and actresses are getting paid really dearly. i mean, yeah, their skills are specialized, but they are paid really high. but i guess, it doesn't stop there. their industry is really raking in a lot of profits. so it is no wonder that producers can pay them that much and even afford to give hefty commissions. take care and God bless you! :-)

Yeah thats too much for a person ..! to that heavy price.. contributors.. are "press/media.." i firmly believe that media plays important role ..in all this trade business..! Ones media makes anybody celebrity ..then its hard for the celebrity to think on the price.. to maintain social statue.. in that specific category ..they always.. go high.. on the earning.. i dont know ..i still feel strongly that Media/press is the both good & Evil for most of the things.. in this world .. ! May be my response is little off the Record ..but..! its the Fact..!

Yeah, I think actors are paid waaaay a lot. xD And I also think these days people are too interested in other people's lives; we have countless reality shows and news shows about celebs.

I agree, I don't think their jobs are any harder than being a nurse, hydroman, doctor, dentist.. etc's is.

I think it's a bit over the top.. 20 mil... Money is the only thing that ruins a man.. a lot of money turns him into a worthless actor with a lot of fans..
