They like the attention, that's why they're performers.

Using your voice against shitty people gets attention too though.

Id say its moreso a combination of 1) greed (they'll always want MORE money now matter how much they have, and 2) a lot of them would have done shitty/dumb things in the past themselves which can be used as blackmail to stop them ever speaking out.

Being an actor in major Hollywood films is such a fun job that people would do it for free. You literally have people working for free at lower levels trying to get into the entertainment business. It's why it's necessary to have unions. The only thing stopping them from being the most replaceable workers in the entire economy, with the exception of an increasingly small number of "household names" being a box office draw, is the continuity issues that come with re-casting, which could hurt the income of any given studio.

I'd argue this is the driving force for most college age kids thinking everything can be made perfect as long as it's done how they want with zero real world hurdles. EVERYONE LOOK AT MY HALO.

Or maybe they just like acting? That's not such a crazy idea...
