It got to the point where the producers of Empire got tired of his demands and planned on killing his character off for the show's fifth season. He found out about this and staged a racial hoax on himself in the hopes that newfound fame and attention would convince the show runners to keep him on and up his salary. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned as his attack was quickly exposed as a hoax and he was fired from the show anyway.

Rather, her agent asked for a much higher fee--higher than Deforest Kelly, a bedrock of the franchise, was getting for the film.

It's not only for a series they have to this, but also for the whole studio network. There could be no end of actors wanting more cash however there's something called a budget. Sometimes it can not be avoided. Peter Falk is an example. The Columbo series was more than just popular it became an epic. Falk was irreplaceable. The Sherlock Holmes character has been played by dozens of actors over the years, but no one, but no one could be Columbo except Peter Falk. He became the roll.

Fox has historically been very greedy with their voice actors for The Simpsons. The first Mexican dub of the show was largely responsible for how famous the show became in Latin America, and the actors didn't even get 1% of what their American counterparts were making per episode. When they requested more money in 2005, and not that much really, Fox fired them. A Mexican actors' union (unions are more like the mafia in Mexico) intervened and offered new actors to Fox, and when the previous actors knew about it, they offered their services for free because they really loved their characters in the show, but Fox rejected them, I dare to say because somebody at Fox was certainly gaining something out of working with the union. Disney had to buy Fox out and offer the first actors their jobs back for them to return to the show and help with their declining ratings in Latin America, and they did, but honestly The Simpsons have sucked for a long time and it's beyond saving by now.

Career advice: Talk small. Think big. Don’t alternate.

@@HoldenNY22 You sir, are correct. He didn't own slaves and was definitely against slavery. The man was a brilliant tactician and I believe his tactics are still taught at West Point. Probably why the statues and naming of military bases. Not because of slavery. Blacks should of been free when we got our independence from Britain but the democrats held them back. Just like they're doing today.

Greed vs greed 👹

Should be renamed times the studio was greedy and didn't want to pay them what they were worth to x franchise.

@@mikeawesome9212 Millions that are ultimately a drop in the bucket for what the execs doing nothing in the background are making off the franchise. Meanwhile the actor dedicates months/YEARS at a time of their life to be the face of said franchise. Imagine disliking workers wanting to get paid appropriately for the work they put in. Couldn't be me lmao Savor the taste of that boot, king.

Looper got greedy and makes the same videos over and over

Suzanne Somers got greedy when on the TV show, Three's Company, asked for a pay raise, then got fired.

I would expect that most of these were getting paid less than they wanted because they had smaller parts or weren't viewed as the big draws in these films and shows. Thats seems fairly reasonable.

I wish Kristie Ally had been brought back in the sequels. Paramount was notorious for being cheap with Trek though. Nothing against Curtis.

Nice pay some people never satisfied
