Donn’s Answer

For a non-union actor, there is no average. Producers can offer whatever they wish and the actor accepts it or doesn't. For union, there are rates corresponding to different size roles, daily rates (example$125 a day), weekly rates ($600 a week). Generally , an actor's quote, or minimum salary, is whatever they made on their last major project.

I have made as little as $25 per performance of a play to making $8000 a week on a soap opera. And everything in between.

There are a lot of different pay rates, depending on what the projects are, so, it's hard to narrow-down anything, exact!!! Sorry, I couldn't give you a straight answer on this, as there are TOO many variables :(

Sophia’s Answer

It is all dependent on what kind of projects you're working on. If it's mostly low-budget indie films, you won't be making that much. If you work on major Hollywood films, obviously, you'll be making more.

Brandon’s Answer

Their are many variables that will increase or decrease the value of the average salary. From the statistics from ZipRecruiter, they say that the average salary is from 16k to 67k. You have to remember that depending on the experience and the job these numbers can change drastically.
