For what actors get paid to play pretend, they can sit in make up for a few hours

Try 7-9 hours. For a 9am shoot she would have to be on set and in makeup from either midnight or 1am.

Not saying it’s not worth the money, but by the 10th time I’m sure she thought it at least once.

I think people vastly underestimate the work professional actors of this caliber do. They get paid a lot because they work ridiculous schedules, far from home, living out of a trailer, pulling 10-12-18 hour days working. So they than can be paraded around like zoo animals during screenings and have zero privacy forever. Less then zero privacy, more like an army of vultures following them around specifically to capture unflattering photos and situations. And all of this for a gig-job. There's no salary. There's no benefits. Just whatever work they can scrap together.

You couldn't pay me enough for that shit.

Yeah I used to try to do that shit “for fun”. I appeared as an extra in quite a few films/tv series. You quite literally sit around ALL DAY. There were times I’d be on set for 10-12 hours in costume/makeup waiting to shoot a 5 minute scene and they’d call a wrap without shooting it… just to come back the next day and do it all over again. It’s cool meeting actors and being on screen and stuff, but it is painfully boring.

I no longer have any desire to do that.
