lemme also add for any of you not familiar with the entertainment industry looking at the weekly rates and balking…

1. That is BEFORE taxes, for which we have to set aside a third
2. That is BEFORE manager fees (10%)
3. That is BEFORE agent fees (15%)
4. That is BEFORE lawyer fees (varies)
5. You may not work again for a year. Or two. That’s sadly normal.
6. Cost of living in LA is $75k per year (for ONE person)
