Opinion: actors are not unique in deserving residuals. Everyone else should be getting them too: writers, directors, makeup artists, camera operators, grip - basically everyone who appears in the credits. Maybe call the relative share of residuals "shares", and advertise shares in job postings: "$20 + 20 shares per hour". Then you get hours*20/(total shares for everyone) of profits from then on.
I mean as a developer I don't get a share of the profits from software I write.
I don't see why actors should be treated different to any other worker really.
In an ideal world we'd all get a share of the money we generate. But we're far from that.
Don't crab bucket. Fight for your right to a share of the profits.
