Cosigning Keith on "Tara". And as far as the median salary is concerned, actors probably don't make a lot more money than we do. In the creative sector, there's a few people making a ridiculous amount of money, and a lot of folks who can't "quit their day job," so to speak. And wow, that list is testosterone heavy. What happened to Cameron Diaz?
