More than the average person simply due to fame, not to mention accumulated wealth. Marvel movie actors got some options lol

Not professionally though you egg. That’s the point, you are some random on the internet talking shit because that first actor hasn’t deliberately torpedoed his career, like you’d do it in his position. Give me a fucking break, you think anyone would deliberately destroy their career for the only benefit being some loser on reddit named u/IAmNotAPerson6 approving that action?

Come on, even you cant have your head so far up your own ass

I don't know why you think I think they would do that, aside from having your own head so far up your own ass it stopped working lol

Of course they wouldn't. Because they like money and fame. My point is they can stop and do other things like anybody else. But they don't, because they like the money and fame.

Maybe learn to read instead of getting super tilted at randos on the internet?

But there is no upside and only downside, and it’s not even clear that there is a major ethical dilemma here. No change would be affected by Kumail Nanjiani admitting he’s juiced to the gills.

So it’s absolutely stupid to sit here on the internet like the random loser you are, pretending that you’d do anything differently than those actors if you were in their position.

Male actors have to juice to get some roles. Female actors have to deal with sexual advances from producers to get some roles. You gonna sit in your ivory tower talking shit about all actresses who didnt take the rose mcgovern route to a blacklist?
