What if a female lead is paid more than Cumberbach? Will she lower her salary to match his, or demand he be paid more?
Its time for male porn actors to get paid as much as female porn actors too
All actors should be paid the same, see how they like it.
Never heard of him and do not care to.
I don'r know wh he is, so I won't miss him...
Waiting for complete AI actors to put these coiffured pansies out of business......
Within ten years, I expect AI actors to be the trend, and the actor’s union will be shocked at the quick nature that their folks zero out their careers.
Meanwhile the studios outsource the film scores to Eastern European orchestras and the locations to Louisana (as New York) or Canada or Romania (as various locations in the US).
But as long as the stars are still pulling in the big bucks, right? #WeTakeCareOfOurOwn #OnePercenterLife
Agreed. Minimum wage for all would make them truly equal, wouldn’t it?
What about the studio janitors?
Wait a minute. It’s good to eliminate gender inequalities. But what about class inequalities?
Shouldn’t the stagehands, janitors, etc. all be paid the same as the stars?
Well, he gets paid less because he is British. This could work.
He could always even the paychecks out by giving her part of his.
Virtue signal much?
Yup
Benedict Cumberbatch
Did he steal that names from a Dickens novel?
i wish these people would keep their opinions to themselves
“Paid Equally”.
He’s going to get a lot of offers, because he just offered to work for half the price of other leading male actors.
Well, at least he’s doing something concrete and actually making a sacrifice. We always loathe Hollywood types here at FR because they say one thing and do another. Talk about carbon footprints, and then go by private jet to their yacht. Talk about gun control and then hire armed guards. We always tell them to put their money where their mouth is. FINALLY one of them is attempting to do it. I say good for Benedict.
