Blockbuster games like “Halo” and “Grand Theft Auto” have made the industry one of the fastest growing in Hollywood, yet $30,000 is a typical salary for actors who work in video games.  And the Times says a new contract proposed by the Screen Actors Guild “would mean doing more work for less money.”
