Are the actors who make millions of dollars really that much better actors than everyone else?

Question

Are the actors who pull millions of dollars for a film really that much better than the actors who don't?

Answer 1

Well, it depends who it is.  Some are great actors that are a lot better than average and others are just famous by luck and really aren't any better than a lot of other people and could be a lot worse....examples of those would be a lot of the music and comedian stars and celebrity kids that have gotten into acting because of their status in life...not saying all of them  are bad..just that they likely wouldn't have been discovered as an actor if they weren't already popular in another way.

Answer 2

No, it depends on their agent, who gets them the best publicity and money deals.

Answer 3

No, it just depends on what kind of movie it is. Plus when u go to the movies & buy a ticket your paying the actors half of the price to get in. But no they are all good just some are more famous then others.

Answer 4

thats a silly question. Of course not. thats like asking if the riches musicians are the best. THey are usually the worst!

Answer 5

not really... they're just more "popular" and they have memorable faces.

Answer 6

most likely, that is why they get paid that much money

Answer 7

Nope. But they are much more hard working and determined than most others.  They may also have better guidance.

Answer 8

Not necessarily. Success is determined by how much people like you, how much exposure you get and how memorable you are.

Example: Jessica Alba, Denise Richards and Liv Tyler don't have any acting talent. Yet, they are successful for the aforementioned qualities.

Answer 9

Not really i find certain popular actors not good actors at all. I have seen complete unknown actors do a better job. They are just marketable products that's all.
