Jeremy Renner is my third stakeholder. Renner has not opposed woman actresses earning more money, per say, but he definitely hasn't backed it up either. He is the only stakeholder who has not taken pity on women, or Lawrence as a whole.

1. Who is the stakeholder?

Jeremy Renner is the oldest of  seven siblings. His parents married young and co-owned a bowling alley in their hometown, Modesto, California. Renner's parents filed for divorce when he was 10 years old. Renner is a well educated man holding 2 degrees in various, and rather random fields, including criminology and world religion. Renner is also educated in martial arts and general contracting. When Renner is not acting he runs a small contracting/house renovating company with his best friend. Renner is about 5'10" with a muscular build. He is 41 years of age with purposefully messy hair, signature 5 o' clock shadow, and brown eyes. The handsome actor was married for a short time to a lovely model, the two have a son together and have shared custody since their divorce after one year of marriage. Renner often plays action characters or superhero's. Some of his most popular films are marvel. Jeremy's acting career began to really take off in 2008, prior to that he had had small TV roles and minute movie script roles but in 2008 his most popular movie, "The Hurt Locker" came out and was a huge successs. Renner was nominated for a series of awards for that film and his progression has not stopped yet as he continues to produce more popular films.

2. 3 Specific Claims

1. Men do not make more because of Gender.
   - "Adding he fully supports actresses receiving equal pay as actors, he said he’s more focused on his craft than what everyone is making."

2. If women want more money they have to get it themselves.
   - "Renner went on to say that he does not deal with money matters in general"

3. It is not the male costars job to negotiate for the actress.
   -"not an actor’s duty to participate in salary negotiations."

3. How Credible are these Claims?

1. Claim one comes from a reputable but potentially baised page. The article uses phrases like "clearer mind" when comparing Renner to Cooper a sign of potential bias.

2.This claim seems valid. Renner has stated that he has no issue with women being paid fairly he just does not care to get involved. Because the issue of pay for his colleagues in not inherently his issue I understand his point.

3. This is also a valid claim. No one wants to take less money, obviously. Cooper proposes that all major stars in a movie discuss salary with the company but Renner disagrees. The money is his to keep unless they take it from him and Renner does not necessarily have an obligation to give the money to his costars, that is the production companies call.

4. How do these claims compare to the other stakeholders?

These claims are the complete opposite from the others. The other two stakeholders are working towards fixing the issue while Renner is truly letting others take care of it. He believes that the equality of pay is not his responsibility but is the actresses and the production company's (Sony). The two approaches could not be more different.
