How actors are paid peanuts despite movies making millions – Actor Gideon Okeke laments

Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke, has spoken out about how actors are not paid in proportion of profits in that movies make in the industry.

He said that it didn’t make sense that an actor was paid once and further profits were not shared to them as he said actors are collaborators and not just hired workers.

He also spoke about how there was no negotiation of prices for actors as producers would give a fixed price without a chance to talk. 

He wrote:

They need your Talent to fulfill their rather clandestine goals but forget to fulfill your own monetary goals when they rake in the box office numbers. 

Wait! They think we came here to be popular? Some of US saved money and went to School for this shit dawg!!!

When next you see Me perform in Film, Theatre or TV, I challenge you to pay Maximum RESPECT to whoever it is I chose to bubble with. That’s because they came Correct. The kind of ACTOR I AM, fear or shame are NOT the indices I work with.
