you may be right, but then I dont consider shoveling pig S*** work.
I never said it was mindless work, I just dont think that would classify as hard work

It is damn hard work, ...... typical day's shoot ....Your up at 4am ,
6am starts on location..... 60/70 people in crew, behind the set on location .... 10 minutes into it and you gag on your lines ........... starting over is all that can be done .
Work, Preperation, Pressure, Stress ? ( there is alot ) and a hellasious amount money down the chitter .
Quiting time ? Not until they get it right, even it it takes all day, thru the night and the next day .......

I view actors as 2nd class citizens..as they had always been thought of until motion pictures came out...not a reputable or respectable job....on top of that they have the nerve to use their celebrity to try and poison the minds of impressionable people with their political idea..an area that most of em don't have enough intelligence to be commenting on.

But really...not a job worth the money they get paid.

Moms has been a hollywood agent for 30 years, unfortunately I have been exposed to lots of these folks... it takes a lot of dedication and 'hard work' to a degree.

I challenge any man here to keep up with Milla Jovovich' (training) schedule then come tell us all how its not hard work to pretend to be in rock hard shape while performing martial arts moves that all had to be learned. These are not things she does in her spare time, its an every day routine on top of other responsibilities (photo shoots, interviews, voice over)

Hard work is relative, most folks have 9 to 5s at the same place, regular days off... actors often leave home for months to "where ever" and film "when ever", sometimes 12 to 18 hour days, others waiting hours to film a 5 minute scene after spending endless boring hours in the trailers. Is leaving home, friends, family "hard work"?, is keeping track of all your responsibilities, as in where to be and when, hard?.. showing up at the same time / place 8 hours a day seems pretty easy to me.

How about dodging the media and loons? is it hard work trying to keep prying eyes & ears from violating your privacy 24/7? is it hard work reading total BS thats been written about you?

I certainly don't think the level of hard work is worth millions per film though, but hey... that's the market.

BS - pure BS - Try 20 years in the military, pick the branch doesnt matter, what 9-5, try 5 - 7 or 5am to 5am. Waiting hours and hours on a hot flightline (or freezing wet cold) waiting to board a C-141 to go thousands of miles from home for a month or more. Try keeping track of your responsibilites while living in a tent surrounded with dust in the air, flies in your mouth, and bugs crawling in your ears. Tell your kids no movie this weekend like you promised because the ORI is coming up and the squadron commander wants to have another exercise.

I'm proud of my 20 years I gave willingly and I'm proud of all the hard work I had to do, but dont sit there and tell me some overpaid, pompous actor is hard working, its pure BS. Some of those people wouldn't know hard work if it bit'em in the ass

How bout dodging bullets?

Tom Cruise is an over opinionated blowhard midget.
Cant stand the little troll.
Does anyone have a pic of the phone book he puts on the seat?

I was in a movie, as a soldier, and it was cold and long hours.
Mostly waiting in the cold, untill our commander (from USMC) yelled either "practice" or "action".

I think the main actors had a much easier time than the extras though, - and better food

All you whiners, you can choose to try acting too!

It´s only matter of choosing your own profession. Some jobs are paid better than others and if you don´t like yours just try new one. Some stupid crying that someone makes easy money is just worthless whining into my ears.

And I am not an actor, but my work is pretty well paid by Finnish standards and I have heard some comments about my job being overrated and overpaid too... What stops you trying to do the same! (I am Air Traffic Controller..)

If jealousy could be harnessed producing electricity we would not need any other powerplants..

PS. I would also like to have a P-51...
