I guess it was for a good cause, too. I wish my father had $47,000 to spend on me, hehe.

Good cause indeed. A great idea to raise money that way.

The cost might be higher though. 2x4s aren't cheap.

That's a good chunk of change for a non-speaking part. He should at least get a line or two for that much money.

(Yes, I know its for charity. But still...)

Yeah you should definitely get taft hartleyed (get into the union) for throwing down that much cash, even if it is for a good cause.

I wonder if there is a clause in the kid's contract that will stipulate that his scene cannot be cut out the movie.
I agree though, for $47,000 the kid should at least get a tiny speaking part.

I wonder if that's why it's not a speaking part, so you can't just buy your way into the union...

All glory to the hypnotoad.
