The Actors’ Earnings report that has been released today highlights the real struggles our members face and how the landscape has worsened significantly. It shows how our members often earn less than minimum wage meaning they have to subsidise their income with another job or with help from family and friends. There is also concern that buy-outs and the extent of rights transferred to producers are rising and that fees and royalties are declining. Performers are also concerned about the increasing use of AI in the industry.

These are issues that BECS feels strongly about and are working for a more secure industry for our members to work in and contribute to.

To ensure the UK’s incredible Film and TV industry can remain the powerhouse it has always been we are calling on the government to support performers now. For more information and to see the report in full please click on the image below.
