How about the actors, producers, etc. take less money and pass on the difference to help out the little people? They keep telling all of us we are in this together and need to do more don’t they.

Yup. Perfect opportunity for sanctimonious Hollywood multi-millionaires, some close to billionaires, to show it takes a village. Pay the salaries of all the background people there for a year instead of taking tax dollars from working people, you jackasses.

Hollywood isn't helping either as they postponed release of a bunch of movies to 2021 to avoid taking a loss.
