Actor Simu Liu has voiced concerns about significant pay disparities in Hollywood, arguing that excessive paychecks for lead actors and producers are not the cause of the industry's struggles. He highlighted the low wages of extras, who work long hours for minimal pay, making it difficult to earn a living. Liu suggested that while 'nepo babies' are a reality, the industry must remain accessible to newcomers. He questioned the fairness of top stars earning millions while others receive near minimum wage, emphasizing that reducing pay for working actors is not the solution to industry challenges.
