Would you consider actors to be working class? (hexbear.net)

Like on principle, I know that the writer’s and actor’s guild and union shit is all good. I don’t think all the success from a movie or show should go 100% to the company, but it still feels weird saying that a Hollywood actor is working class.

What do y’all think? Am I just being a dumbass?

So long as they don't own capital and they sell their labor for a wage they are workers. Even wealthy workers are workers, they are just paid enough to ignore their class interests in favor of their individual interests.
