Rick and Morty is one of Adult Swim’s most popular shows, Spencer Grammer voices one of the major supporting characters on that show (Summer Smith), yet she wasn’t making enough money to qualify for SAG AFTRA’s health insurance during the first year of her child’s life.
This shit isn’t just cruel, it’s downright evil.
I know dipshits are gonna say “But these voice actors are making 15 grand, they have no right to complain!”
And to that I say, you try raising a child on a 15 grand budget with no health insurance.
The reason why you see so many voice actors saying that they would love to work on The Simpsons or Family Guy isn’t because those shows are still in their prime, it’s because they pay insanely well.
Jenny Yokobori has made more money voicing Comic Book Guy’s wife and doing additional voices on The Simpsons than she has voicing any other character.
Chris Edgerly managed to buy a house thanks to providing additional voices on The Simpsons.
I know it’s easy to think that voice actors are making large sums of money due to the amount of projects that they’re worked on, but that simply isn’t the case.
Hell, some voice actors can’t even afford to live in LA because it’s so expensive, so they end up living in Las Vegas or Arizona because it’s much cheaper, and they can just drive to LA if they have to record something in studio.
FYI Spencer Grammer plays Summer, so it wasn’t like she was a bit character on the show. She was a member of the main cast.
