If you blow the casting director you might get more money.

Then again you might just get to take home one of these souvenirs:

Non-union extra rate 54/8 plus overtime, meals, mileage, etc. Union extra rate 126/8 plus all that. Day Player/Speaking role = between $600-800/ plus overtime, meals, mileage, and then depending on your contract you would get residuals based either on a small % of the profit of the movie itself or just on the Movie rentals, sales, etc. and you would get checks from it every quarter for the rest of your life and past it. I still get paychecks every quarter from American Pie 2 from between $120-250. and my upcoming Mercedes Benz ad I'll be getting between $2k-6k everytime it airs.

rack you JTR--
I can see that those dudes that played the Neanderthals
in the Geico ads must be well paid--and also why Geico likes going the "Gekko route"--- or does the guy that created
the lizard and whoever does the voice-over
get residuals like an actor ??
oh and rack the Louisiana Attorney in advance !

I was over at the Benz dealership Wednesday and he said the car I was interested in would run between $40k - 120k depending on how well the new TV commercials work out.
