You may realize that it’s been very difficult to find a line-up of actors with fantastic salaries these days, whereas there are days when lots of people want to watch a film just because of who the actors are in the film, so not just because of the storyline. Even if the storyline is bad, if the actor is his favorite, then the quality of the storyline will not be too concerned
There was once a time when it was almost certain that a film would achieve great success if it starred a certain actor, but that was several years ago.
Let’s mention some of the big names of Hollywood actors such as Tom Cruise, Will Smith, and Jim Carrey; in the 1990s they got super big fees because of their great appeal in attracting large and profitable audiences.
Jim Carrey was paid USD 20 million, which was very difficult to happen, for his role in the film “The Cable Guy” which was released in 1996. This was accompanied by high expectations where he was expected to have at least earn USD 20 million in income on weekends.
Stunning Acting Quality
How come, at least the 3 big names from the 90s era could attract the interest of many people and be very successful at that time? Of course, that’s because of their quality as actors who can amaze many people.
An example is the role of Tom Cruise in the Mission Impossible film series franchise, which was later discovered that he did not use a stuntman for the extreme and dangerous scenes in the film. It’s not wrong if the super big dedication given by Tom Cruise for his film received great appreciation which also led him to success, even though his name is big to this day.
This also applies to the success of Will Smith and Jim Carrey who have never stopped showing their quality as the top and most successful actors in Hollywood history.
The Story of Hard Work and Never Give Up
Nowadays, times have progressed and more film enthusiasts are interested in film franchises than the players who play them, an example is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has been the ruler of the box office for the last few years.
Events like this then gave rise to many actors who are increasingly known and achieve success and popularity today. Call it Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth who later added to their Hollywood fame and starred in many more films since then.
The success story of Robert Downey Jr. even inspired many people, when he was successful after successfully getting out of the drug trap and getting up. The story shows that besides quality, endurance and also hard work are the keys to success for actors.
However, if we talk about consistency and also the existence of big actors, then we cannot ignore these two actors, Cruise and Smith, who are still alive and well today.

Then there are Killers of the Flower Moon, which will be released next year.
