That was my son’s question while watching some TV show the other day. Well while reading one of the Variety blogs I found a link to the list of guild rates for different performances. Now these are the minimums and I have the feeling jumping off buildings is probably paid more than say being in a fight. But your average stunt man on a day job make $678 a day.

This was linked off an interesting blog entry about being in a loop group, which are the people the do background chatter in TV shows. And here’s their rate. Good money if you can get it.
