[quote:sleepy head 454544:MV81Njg1NjBfODY4MTYyNV82NkJEQkVCNg==] well, i am sure that the steady actors would love to get into another income stream. let's say you're a regular supporting actor. you have no say over what products get endorsed, cause the studio gets the dough. well why not the actor? if i want to promote ibc root beer, then i should get the ad money, not the studio. but it could get crazy. if you had a deal with Martha Stewart, she has tableware, drapes, flower arrangements, the list is endless. you could actually subcontract the set designs out to Martha.

one of the sticking points with the actors guild,
is product placement.
no joke.
oh, and residuals too. but the studios want
to deep six the residuals, for good.
so i understand that.
but product placement?
that's kind of funny.
"hey, i got an endorsement deal with Martha Stewart,
and i gotta use her colors."
