More money is made by actors in TV commercials than by actors in all stage plays combined and believe it or not, more money is made by actors in commercials than in all feature films combined, including all video and DVD sales nationally and internationally.
Commercials employ more actors than do televisions shows and feature films! A TV show may only air once or a few times whereas a TV commercial (if not a buy-out) can air many times a day, for many years, which means the actor is getting paid every time it airs even though he/she may have only worked a few hours or a day filming the commercial!
The pay is so exceptional for acting in commercials that many star actors are now begging to do commercials!
