How come child labor laws don't apply to children who are actors?

Question

Why is it ok for children to be actors? How come it isn't considered against our labor laws?

Are they only applicable in certain settings? What limits are there for child actors and who decides if they act or not? How much of it is the child's own decision?

Answer 1

Because if you work somewhere like a restaurant or factory, there's machine stuff to deal with. Since when do actors push air conditioners around? They don't. And besides, there are child labor laws for actors. But there's no strictly off limits things. A baby actor can only be filming 15-20 minutes and they have to have a thirty minute break in between.

Answer 2

I'm more wondering about if children truly wants to be actors. like Olsen twins. they were barely talking & walking and they were already watched by millions of people. I think this really ruins the whole idea of having a humble life from the beginning and not everyone watching you how you physically develop from a child to a teenager.

Answer 3

They do have laws. Well, they do in England
