I looked up Barry's house on Zillow.com. It's over 12,000
sq ft and it is valued at $5.2 million. Frankly, I thought it would be worth more because it overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It's impressive but it pales in comparison to many of the Beverly Hills and Brentwood estates. It's a lot easier to be Tobey Maquire and rake in $25 million a picture than to be Barry. As Tobey found out, it takes more skill to beat poker than to stand in front of a camera and say I'm your friendly neighborhood Spiderman.

[/ QUOTE ]I'd say it's much harder to become a successful actor than a successful poker player. (Toby gets paid more -> harder to become Toby). Whether or not one can do the other is irrelevant. Salary is pretty closely related to difficulty to do the job.

This is so wrong....... there are basically no objective measures of what makes a good actor.

What's harder, making it in poker for 20 years or making it in Hollywood for 20 years?

I'm not a Tobey fan at all, but I'm pretty sure he busted his damn ass to make it to the point where he gets the spider-man role.
