| Ugly of him to use the term “white boy” and misleading to suggest that race accounts for the difference in their pay. I hope he was just speaking in the heat of the moment and that he sends Aaron a personal apology. Actors, as I’m sure many of us know from experience, are consistently paid more to work on network television than they are to work in cable. I bet that even a major star like Sterling K. Brown makes a hell of a lot more money for “This Is Us” than he did for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and the discrepancy is only going to grow more obvious as the residuals come in. Revned’s assessment of this situation strikes me as clear-headed and fair as well. |

| I agree that his argument as apples and oranges. Keep in mind that HAMILTON was not filmed for cable - it was filmed for theatrical release. Its on cable because theatres are closed. Revenue wise, you can join Disney+ for $6.99, and watch Hamilton every day, multiple times, for a month - your whole household + friends if they are Covid free. In a movie theatre your family of four would have paid $50-60 to see. On Disney + $6.99 - giving you access to all the other Disney content online. So that this could end up as a significant loser for Disney. I paid $6.99 for the month, watched Hamilton twice, then ab 8 part Star Wars TV Series, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, a bunch of cartoons, and on and on. All for that $6.99 | |

| very good catch. I am not weeping for Disney though. It looks like they will retain a percentage of the new subscribers that probably justifies it. Just as on Broadway, the economic model for Disney is sui generis. | |

| Sometimes I think actors in interviews are their own worst enemy. There was an interview with Andrew Rannells where he belittled the singers at Marie’s Crisis and it made me not want to see him again. Same here with Odom, if someone had said I want to earn the same as that Black Boy there would have been an outcry and rightfully so. I completely agree with comments pointing out the difference in preparation for that payment and don’t believe it would at all have been based on race. Would Lin have stood for that to be happening, I am certain that’s a big No!! | |
