## Resource

Actors are getting hit with absurdly tiny residuals—sometimes just one cent—so little it costs more to mail the check than the payment itself. As streaming reshapes content distribution, old syndication models are crumbling, leaving stars from past hits with unpredictable, often negligible payouts. Some even earn more delivering packages than from their iconic roles. The debate over fair compensation is heating up, exposing the financial instability performers face in today’s digital entertainment landscape.
