Comprising 17 talented individuals, this cooperative ensures equal billing, pay, and terms for all its members. In an era when disparities were prevalent in the entertainment industry, The Actors Company stood as a beacon of equality. Intriguingly, Ian reveals that despite his immense talent and fame, he will be earning a modest £50 per week.
