Same shit. And many national commercials are now shot overseas. This allows the ad agency and the production house from having to pay royalties to US actors that have completely lost the fucking plot (pun intended) and demanded a shit-ton more pay and bennies. The producers gave it to them and then moved commercial production out of the US and also went non-union so that they didn't have to pay residuals (where you might make some $, over the lifetime of a commercial).
Even the ones that are shot here have a mandatory "buyout" which means that the "actors" (99.99567544838% CANNOT ACT) have to release all rights to image, likeness, voice, and any resemblance therein and thereof and receive NOT A F*CKING DIME above what they were paid for the day they shot...
It was a sick industry before (back when "actors" actually could make $ in commercials), but when the greedy bastards wanted even more money, the pimps, errrr... the producers bitch-slapped them in their high cheekbones.
Can you smell the smog? "Welcome to L.A.. Now fuck off and go back to Ohio." -- The Producers.
Im sure this may be true for the vast majority of hacks out there but i know for a fact that some of the more recognizable commercial actors/actresses do just fine for themselves. My brother in law was in one Progressive commercial that ran occasionally for the better part of a year and took home roughly $75k for that afternoon's work. This was about 5 years ago. It is rare to have a commercial actually payout well but many of his friends who are still in that field do just fine for themselves and receive residuals.

Good ol Tom. Reminded me of this. Not sure if this ever landed in this thread or not. If it did I'll have the cake I don't care.

AND mother fuckers who leave weights and their bottle of water on top of one bench while they go use another piece of equipment. When it's 5 AM and the place is empty, be my guest. When it's 7:30AM and the joint is packed, go fuck yourself mmmmkay?
