[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm, lots of actors struggle. The stereotype of the "rich actor" really applies to a very, very select few. I think it's more the norm than the exception [/quote]

NP. Thank you for saying this. It's absolutely true. So is the excellent post above by the person noting that, yes, systemic racism really is an issue in getting roles in television and film. And considering Hounsou's resume, yes, he surely is underpaid when he does work, and getting less work overall than he probably should.

To the OP and others, the "$4 million" worth is not a number to take seriously. None of those online "how much is This Actor worth" numbers have any real meaning. They're made up based on figures, often old figures, of what someone was paid for certain roles, but don't ever take into account things like assets tied up in ways they can't be spent, and don't account for any real-life expenses and debts people have. Actors have kids who need college tuition and braces, parents who need help paying bills, and health issues draining their money, just like the rest of us do. [/quote]
