[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.

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

Kumbe wewe ni wa bonus kwa sitting allowance

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

See now he can hold his head high and demand $2m!

Next he will demand more and a hero role to save the reputation of the black man.

aendelee vivyo hivyo - More power to him! I wish him smooth seas and may his skills and reputation grow!
I saw the Friends actors were each paid 1 million dollars an episode... an episode! so ile pesa ya kidero inasumbua watu akili ilikuwa 3 episodes lol. Halafu they negotiated a deal which the 5 would get 10% of all earnings from the series - Warner brothers makes approx 1 billion each year from syndication of friends years after the series ended and so each of those guys get 20M USD every year not lifting a finger.... lol!!
