[00:00:00]If I'm starring in a movie, indie or studio, I I demand a certain salary.

[00:00:04]Yeah. Um and and when I'm doing a supporting role, I know that that I can back down and know that they only have so much money to play with. Um for something like you know, Fantastic Four, you make two or 300,000 bucks to play Mole Man, and then you know, taxes, agent 10%, manager 10%, lawyer 5%. I give 5% to a business manager, and I always, you know, I grew up in the church, so I'm always titheing something, whether it's 5% of my net gross or 12%, I'll give away some money to someone who needs it.

[00:00:42]But at the end of the day, what looked like 250k is a lot closer to $136,000.

[00:00:49]Yeah. And that's still a lot of money by anyone's metric, but it's not going to set you up for life. No. There's a reason I do a [ __ ] ton of movies, and it's cuz I have to keep doing them, cuz they I'm not getting paid on a Spring Break or Fantastic Four what I'm getting paid on um The Luckiest Man in America or or Balls Up, you know.

[00:01:09]>> Yeah.
