re: Random question about actor's pay I have never found an answer to

I've always wondered what kind of living some of these character actors that you recognize but can't name make. The ones when you look at the filmography on IMDb they've never had a recurring role but they have about 500 credits on various shows for random roles. Seems like the easiest job in the world
To me, that seems like it would be a real grind of never ending auditions and reads to keep your calendar full enough to make a good living.

Grand Isle as an example since it was mentioned ... producers pay Nic let's say 2M for two weeks. The overall budget is somewhere around 5M (before LA tax credits.) Shoot mostly locations and avoid building too much (which can add up). At that budget level the crew rates are a bargain and you are likely only shooting 25 days total (compared to most projects which are 35 days or more).
Slap together the film and put his face on the poster. The movie is likely already pre sold in foreign territories based on talent/genre .... which gives the producers secure funding for investors.
Bruce Willis has become the literal poster boy for this .

I agree but it also seems like much more of an honest living and without the apparent insanity that fame causes. And for a lot of commercial or small role actors once they get a decent clip reel it's not as hard to get booked as just randomly walking in off the street
