well then an actor decides his or her own pay, right? why negotiate if you don't have a number in mind? oh wait, that is exactly what a person looking for a CEO position does. Exactly the same thingy.The actors are not deciding any of the pay.
Why then do they have agents?
Not real familiar with the industry, but my understanding is the agents help them find work and negotiate better pay.
You just said that the actors do not decide any of the pay. Here you say, "the agents help them find work and negotiate better pay." Which is true. But how can you have it both ways? Oh, that's right, you're a Progressive!
Everyone can negotiate their pay. But it is dependent on getting their boss to agree. Same for an actor. For a CEO they just decide their own pay. Strange you can't see the difference. Actors even get help negotiating from an agent. If they decided their own pay, why would they bother with an agent?
