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?

If you don't own the means by which you work you're working class but that doesn't mean some workers aren't paid extravagantly at the expense of others

    you'd have to do a bunch of weird accounting to determine this is actually happening rather than the owner stealing all the other surplus value.

    No im pretty sure no individual deserves to make millions off a production because they have a pretty face and can act real good
