    “Look man, this role is just a side gig for me. I’m just gonna lay here, and pretend to be dead. I get to have a few minutes of peace, doing absolutely nothing for 3 minutes, and make more money than the average American makes in 3 years. I don’t want a speaking part. That would be like…work. I just want to rest, and you guys get to advertise that Kate Moss was on your show.”

    This is the vibe I get from celebrities most of the time. She, as an actress, turned down a cameo role, because she, as an actress would have had to act. And that’s too much.

    Meanwhile I’ve worked in factories for $9 an hour, in 130F heat. Fucking hell.

      To be clear, this is not a real quote from the article.

      Acting dead is not as easy as it sounds, and it may be a day of availability. The difference is that your factory makes a set amount from your shift, while a studio can sell your TV work again and again over an extended period.
