Here’s the problem though, and it’s best summarized by a quote that my old acting teacher used to say, “It’s great money when you can get it.” You could get booked for one day on a TV show and make $1,000, but then you’ll likely never work on that TV show again because you’ve been established. Not sure what I mean? Think about every really popular franchise (Marvel, The Walking Dead, Orphan Black, Game of Thrones).
