Got booked as a secondary character on upcoming tv show(very let down by the money)

[JasonBoxing]

Just got a notice from my agent that I got the role of a secondary character on a upcoming TV Show. I will be there for the entire season.

Very let down by the money. I started auditioning as a second job because I thought it was bank. I guess I was delusional.

My impression was that even secondary characters on mid level TV Shows will get like millions. Lol.

Agent told me only Game of Thrones Level command that kind of cash.

Must be a cable show. Network shows get paid

Yes it is.

That took 850 auditions. Before people saying that's loser numbers, I know guys who been to 10,000 auditions and never got anything outside of a commercial.

I'm going to quit acting gig after this. It doesn't make sense to give up a high income job to make LESS MONEY in the hopes of making millions one day......

No it doesn't make sense on the surface but you'll never make millions acting if you don't try. All you'll be left with are regrets. You do not want to live your life thinking "what if". I'm not telling you to quit your job but as long as you know you have that steady income coming in you'll always lean on that instead of taking the big risk that comes with the big reward.

Damn. Dont give up so easy. May open doors for ya. What show?

Secondary characters doe?

Idk about that. I mean obviously network>cable, but secondary characters even on a a network show don't usually make a mill a year or more I don't think.

Sh^t those mfers from Friends only made half a mill the first season & they were the stars. Granted that was awhile back & inflation & all that, but I'm sure there are stars of shows on networks now making similar money & certainly secondary actors would be lucky to make half a mill/year I'd assume.
