It seems like it's been forever, but I finally booked a freakin commercial...and supposedly a Super Bowl spot at that. Ironically, I booked it on the same day that I found out that the KY Brand spot I shot in New York is not going to run. Jobs come and go...I also did a small part on Grey's Anatomy recently.

Good for you. How about a link or just post the commercial.

If you shoot a commercial and it never airs, do you not get paid?

My wife and I love Grey's, but I really think they have or about to have jumped the shark with the last couple of years storylines.

I was wondering how that worked myself.

The spot, for www.cars.com, hasn't been released yet. Hopefully I'll actually still be in it when it's finished. I'm assuming it'll be :60 for the Super Bowl and continue to run afterwards.

Yes, I did get paid. It's complicated, but yes.

I was paid for the day of work - 1 day of shooting.
Also, paid one day of travel to NYC and one day travel back to LA and per diem for all 3 days.


Plus holding fees every 13 weeks - that gives the ad agency/client the right to run the commercial. Use fees are paid to actually run the commercial.

In return, during which time they are paying holding/use fees, I cannot work for a competing product/service.

As actors for hire, generally, we worry much less about those sharks you speak of - it's a gig, a chance to work and make a living...and it's usually a blast. We have our favorite shows too though.

Haha, very nice Stephon! WaMu doesn't have much of a presence around here, so I never see the commercials.
