You know, I was walkin down to my mates house the other day, smoking a joint, totally high and basically just enjoying life, when i started thinking about actors. I wondered to myself "Why do actors get paid so much, millions, when most people only get paid a few bucks an hour?". I thought about it for a while, and then it him me. They're providing a service. That's all it is.

I'll try to explain, which is gonna be tough because im baked. If, over here, in Jersey, in the UK, you call a plumber out to your house you may be forced to hand over roughly £50 just to call them out, befor they even do any work. Then, if they actually have to do any work, they can charge you anywhere between £20 to £30 per hour. But, if there was only 5 plumbers on this island, then they could charge more, probably alot more.

Lawyers can get paid anywhere between £60 to £500 an hour. I'm sure not many lawyers over here get paid hundreds of pounds an hour, because there are alot of lawyers here and not much of a demand for them, not high priced lawyers anyway. But, if there was only 5 lawyers on this island, they could charge alot more than they do at the moment, because they would be more in demand than if there was 100 lawyers.

Now there are alot of Actors and Actresses around, but only the best actors are being paid millions. Just take a look at the Oscars, thats where all the BEST Actors and Actresses are. If you think about it, theres not so many of them, enough to fit in one room anyway. But, this handful of people are providing a service for millions of people. People all over the world pay to see them in their next movies and TV shows. Think about it, if there were only 10 lawyers in the whole world then i'm sure they would be getting paid millions and millions themselves. And thats what its like for actors, they provide a service that the whole world is in demand for, but theres not enough of them to go around, so, they can afford to charge millions of dollars for their services and people are willing to pay it.


Edit: What a load of shite LOL
