[quote=harrydre]That's good money for a first movie. He should now create a name for himself to command more pay like kina tom hanks and will Smith. After all if tom hanks was not in the movie, who would have watched it?[/quote Can't agree more. That is a tidy sum for a start.I would personally be ready to do it without pay.Actors like Tom Hanks add glamor to those they associate with.

haiya, watu wa masters get around 500k (kes) per month, funny that all the masters degree holders friends I have are unemployed. anyway, approx mita sita is not bad money

He should not be worried much, it will not be long before Hollywood makes the big movie "WESTGATE' and Barkhat will be featuring alongside @Amores who will be acting Kimaiyo (burning mattresses) and @thmioni as Ole Lenku. I believe his dreams are still valid

Ofcourse they are not. It's a way of recognising people in the industry. You even don't have to win just getting nominated is enough to put you on the A list. This makes your worth go up. You now get offered a lot of roles and can negotiate chapaa from a better position.

That is in US and starting is usually 45K p.a and in some cities utaishi kama hustler. 50k comes to around 3K a month and in NY a small keja is 2K a month
