What is the starting salary for acting?

There is no set starting salary for acting. Salaries for actors can vary widely depending on experience, location, type of acting work, and other factors. Beginning actors may start out earning minimum wage or less for small roles in local theater or film productions. As actors gain experience and their careers progress, they can earn more money. Established actors can earn high salaries, sometimes in the millions of dollars, for major roles in big-budget productions.
