Is it just me or do actors get wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much money?

I was reading this article-

http://www.wisegeek.com/who-are-the-...aid-actors.htm

The stars of FRIENDS were making 1 million per episode.

An average season runs 24 episodes
SO they made, 24 million for 12 hours of time..ok ok sure im sure there was dress rehearsals, and specials and so on, but you get my drift.

The president of the united states, gets ten percent of that salary.
No actually thats wrong. 3 percent.

Doctors, well paid Doctors make half that-
And I could go on and on..

that just doens't seem right to me- a million dollars an episode.
And that isn't counting, the high paid actors ike Tom Cruise who got 300 millions for mission impossible 3
And so on.

300 million? I can't even CONCIEVE of that much money.

Me either!! It's crazy, but then again you're now paying $10-$12 dollars for a movie ticket.

Actors definitely are paid way too much, especially since 99% of movies being made today are not worth the film they are shot on...
