I misspoke about L.O.U being Bella Ramsay’s first series regular. I recorded this video with a script and went a little off-script in that moment. I should’ve fact-checked myself before speaking on it in the video. Her having been a Series Regular in the Worst Witch is likely why she was paid above the $35k-$50k starting range. One thing I’ll mention is GOT certainly may have helped. However, my first series regular offer was still $35k with Stranger Things on my resume. It’s mainly previous Series Regular experience that bumps that rate substantially.

I’m gonna be so honest. I HATED you in stranger things because you were so mean, but you seem like a genuinely nice person irl😭

Wow. American actors get paid so much more than Australians. As a Guest role we make $600. Good for you, that's awesome🎉

actors salaries are so interesting.... awesome job shedding light on the topic. Loved the videos as always!!!

u did such a good job on stranger things

It can be hard to separate the actor from the character but omg you don't sound like your character at all. You seem so nice and quiet. Congrats to you!! 🎉

I really appreciate the no clickbait, informative video. When I was growing up, information like this was pandora's box only - you had to already be working to learn this stuff. Because I spent much of my youth working in entertainment, I already knew what you got paid on the network show was going to be higher than streaming lol. It's not as cool to be on a CBS show as a hit streaming show, but it definitely pays better.

This is quite funny to me as I started watching stranger things worth my family. My dad kept saying 002 (you) has really good acting skills. Hope you have a great career dude!

The best breakdown of an actors pay I ever heard was from Bruce Campbell. In his book "If Chins Could Kill: Diaries of a B movie actor", he breaks down his pay for Army of Darkness which is the third movie in the Evil Dead franchise. He was paid $500,000 for the role. However, if you remove Tax, Agent fees, Manager fees, Union dues and payment to ex-wife (he got divorced while making the movie) that left him with $93,000. That seems like a lot until you realize he was involved with the project for 2 years and did not book anything else during that time. That means he made $46,500 a year for two years.

Jesus Christ actors act so well that their real self is so much different from acting. Nice job on Stranger Things

You were amazing on the show! It sucks that all of the kids ended up how they did, would have absolutely love to see at least some of you would have come back in the last season

thank you king for not gatekeeping

Gotta love the way how you’re really breaking it down greatly without sensationalizing it too much

Tristan, I find you overall vibe very calming, thanks for being transparent about things people typically shy away from. Much Respect.

okay but you’re such a good actor bc you genuinely freaked me out so much when i watched season 4 💀 i’m getting nervous just by looking at you again 😭

I appreciate how concise and well-explained this video was, it might be the best coverage I've ever seen on the topic. Good luck on your journey Tristan

Always cool to see these kind of behind-the-scenes videos! Also you did an amazing job on Stranger Things!!!

My youtube recommendations have been so good lately. Thanks for sharing! I’ve always been curious about this so it’s nice to hear it from an actor.

Bro you were so amazing in Stranger things which is one of my fav shows to watch. Keep going man you're doing amazing things!!

Something about your attitude, transparency and the candid manner in which you conduct yourself tells me that you will make it much further than you already have. Keep up the good work 👍

Omgggg you did a really good job! I love stranger things and you played it so perfectly. Thank you for the video 🫶🏻

This is soooo educational for an aspiring actress like myself!! Thank you for sharing your experience. Stranger Things is my all time favorite show & I think you did a phenomenal job. Congratulations in your success so far and I wish you nothing but the best in your career. ❤

You seem like such a cool person! Your acting skills are great! Whenever theres a character in a show that makes you mad, you know they're good actors. Also its cool that you're talking about this! Very helpful and epic. You're awesome dude! I hope to see you in future projects :)

This is awesome, thanks for the info!

Not in the acting industry but this was a fun watch!! thanks for being so transparent and honest :)

You got straight to the point. More people need to do that. Also, congrats.

I´ve been wanting to act for a while so this video is so interesting and also you did amazing on stranger things, when you know that people hate your character for being a mean character you know that you did a fantastic job at acting

Loved your explanation

Lovely open and honest advice for aspiring young actors, well done and thank you.

Never knew you had a channel, this is pretty cool. I liked your acting in ST Season 4 for sure.

Loved this video❤

Thank you for *BEST* video in my life

What a talented young actor you are. Look forward to seeing you in more things

I'm not sure how I got recommended this but I loved your acting in stranger things. You seem really talented. Hope to see you in more roles.

You have a very high energy, honest, excitable personality! I really could see you in so many different genres. I hope to see you continue to thrive!!

omg i cant believe i found your yt channel ! your acting was very good in stranger things 😄

i'm completely astonished he’s so nice in real life, and if i’m surprised with something as simple as that, it means he’s really his job real good. thanks for being transparent with us about industry numbers Tristan, it's really interesting for those who are dreaming with a career in acting/filmmaking! great video, keep with the channel and curiosities, +1 sub ;)

You were my biggest opp 😭 i rlly love seeing how u are in real life though, also a lot of useful info in this video :)

I love when people allow us to see behind the curtain. You have probably inspired a lot of people to pursue their dreams with the knowledge you've just given us. Thank you.

Super interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this info fr. Very interesting

This is fascinating, thank you for sharing! Being a content creator the first question people also ask me is "How much do you make on KZfaq?" I'm not shy about it, but people never think about the taxes! Haha love that you mentioned all the other fees and such. I think it's helpful for people going into any industry to have an idea of what the career could look like. Keep it up, I subbed! I look forward to seeing what comes next. It's fun to have social media, because people that perform in movies and TV are just accessible to talk to now. You seem like a cool guy Tristan and that makes me want to see more of your content! I'll be praying for continued success for you.

your acting was great on stranger things dude!

Wow!! You were absolutely amazing as Two!!! You are so talented, as much as Two was a very unlikable character, I started sobbing when you were crying “Papa please, you have to believe me!” Amazing job, Stranger Things is my favorite show ever ❤️🫶

Thanks for sharing! Great insights!

Well done - nice video. So many opportunities today - back in the day when I was starting out in film I had to buy film books by mail order and getting a camera to do indy projects was so difficult. To the point where I gave up and started an internet business - glad I did, but do miss the creativity and would have loved to have seen my really odd ideas made! Good luck!

This video was so interesting. I never really knew how salaries worked for actors. You seem like such a cool guy too!

I thought your acting was very strong and amazing in stranger things! I can see you being HUGE in the future!

This is really cool. I hope your future is prosperous.

I loved you in Stranger Things, I wish you were still alive in the series ❤

Your acting was amazing :D

Good job making me absolutely hate your guts on ST! 😂 you killed it! Edit: this video is actually messing with my brain bc you seem so different

suuuper interesting! thanks for sharing!

here's a sub, thanks for being so honest (i was definitely not forced by psychic powers or anything). i have no interest in acting but so many people are afraid to say how much they are paid (for a multitude of reasons, and it's their business of course) but this is actually so interesting, and having to consider the other things that take from how much you are paid. very educational for anyone, especially those who would like to act.

Thank you so much from South Africa! 🇿🇦

absolutely amazing!!! coming from a canada Actra Union actor this is very cool to watch.

Wow this is so interesting! I’ve wanted to become an actor for quite awhile but I have always been told that it doesn’t pay well so this is very cool to hear! You were great in Stranger Things and definitely made me hate your character lol, Keep up the good work!

Interesting video! Thanks for making this! :ú

Talk about showing what's behind the curtain. This video was solid.

Great video!

I loved your acting in stranger things and seeing your acting in the fbi is making me want to watch it. I hope You have a bright future in acting

You did an amazing job as 002!

This is a great video! Our son, also a Tristan, is a new actor on the southeast scene. We wish you luck!

Thanks, for sharing all this personal information. I hope you get more opportunities in the future. You killed it on Stranger Things. TERRANCE OUT
