Without

have
been
possible,

are
directors,
story
writers,
musicians
and
a
whole
lot
of
others
who
are
involved
in
the
making
of
a
movie,
but
ultimately,
what
the
audience
sees
are
the
actors
and
not
the
people
behind
the
scenes.

performs
at

question
here
is

much
is

Regardless
of
how
much
an
actor
makes
out
of
a
movie,
the
movie
depends
on
various
other
factors
like
story,
screen
play,
sfx
and
many
more.
Why
does
an
actor
get
paid
such
a
huge
amount
of
money?
It
is
because
of
his/her
popularity
and
fan
base.
Working
under
big
banners
will
sure
do
a
bucket
load
of
fortune
for
the
actor.
Actors
like
Robert
Downey
Jr
and
Jennifer
Lawrance
have
delivered
exceptional
performances
in
terms
of
gathering
a
good
fan
base,
all
credits
to
the
production
studios
like
Marvel.
There
are
many
other
actors
who
really
give
their
heart
and
soul
to
play
the
part
like
Leonardo
DiCaprio,
Matthew
McConaughey
among
others.
Imagine
Leonardo
Dicaprio
as
Ironman
or
Robert
Downey
Jr
in
Inception.
It's
very
hard
to
imagine
it
isn't
it?
That's
the
type
of
acting
and
screenplay,
which
makes
an
actor
what
he
is
today.
