Talent
In the media industries, the term talent, when used as a noun, refers to the actors/ performers in a production.
The BBC and Equity (the actor’s union) have a television agreement where it is stated that an actor’s minimum engagement fee should be £603.
If the engagement is for one week this represents 6x work days. Each work day being 8 hours in duration. (9 hours with 1 hour meal break). If the engagement is for two week this represents 5x work days. Each work day being 8 hours in duration (9 hours with 1 hour meal break).

Many independent and low budget film production projects will struggle to meet these sorts of pay rates. What usually happens is that the actor and producer agree a fee that isn’t necessarily in line with rates advised by equity.
