And why do you think he is in all the games and the others have small roles very sparcely? Because they don't bring the same value to the production and thus won't have more money just because they want and think deserve.

No they aren't forced to work 2nd or 3rd job to make ends meet. If they do very small roles during very limited times of the year you can't even say their primary occupation is being VA.

Yes, sure there is so much profit being made... not like several companies are going bankrupt, should proggramers, devs and VAs pay for the companies going bankrupt? Nope, they unfortunately get fired and may miss a payment or another, but they aren't debted for the harshes of the company. They are being paid what they agreed to work for.

It's not just the lesser known voice actors that aren't being paid enough. There are some high profile voice actors taking part in this strike as well, people like Phil LaMarr and Jennifer Hale.

Just because they are forced to work a 2nd or 3rd job they shouldn't consider themselves to be voice actors? Even though that's what they want to be, what they've trained for, even paid for voice coaching lessons to become? I'm not saying these smaller voice actors should be paid the big bucks, many of them do nameless NPC voices and such, but they should make more than they are now. Some of them get paid a couple hundred dollars a day and only record a few days a month, that barely even covers the cost of the flight to the voice recording location if the actor doesn't live near where the recording is taking place. 

Thats why its something you do on the side. Its not a job you can make a living from, so instead of dealing with that, they are trying to force publishers to make it something its not. There are many other jobs VAs can try to pursue out there.
