Flouride, if/how do Katie and Alex get residuals off something as short lived as a commercial? Like, is it normal to get residuals? Or is it just normally just scale by the hour? I probably don't understand how residuals or scale works, but always wondered how climbers gravitated toward hollywood rigging and stunt work.
They're on screen, faces shown. If they have any agent worth their salt they should have got a decent fee for the ad itself then a percentage for all times it re-airs. Hell, they can probably get into SAG for that ad and get the bennies and all that union provides.
commercials are golden when it comes to money, especially national ones. I have a friend who was in one when he was 12 and still gets checks to this day when they dust it off and re-air it (was a popular national spot). Given, they're small checks but getting paid for something you did 25 years ago one time? Sweet.
Definitely would be a sweet gig. Hope it worked out that way for both of them.
side note, we used to refer to Katie as "The Claw" - she used to wear that watch on one wrist, that was to hide the attachment point for her 'claw' hand that allowed her to fire off 13s onsight at such a young age. lol
Let us know!
