And it's hard to argue with the fact that, when offered buckets and buckets of cash for three weeks of shooting, anyone would be a fool not to take it. After all, acting is a volatile profession, as many starving artists can attest, and financial security for you and your family is nothing to turn from: It's not so much selling out, as selling well. And furthermore, most creative professions are overcrowded; for every wealthy and successful artist who can afford to sniff at jobs that are 'beneath' him or her, there's ten or more underworked ones who would kill for a chance at the income. On a cynical note, in the state that America is in today, you shouldn't be surprised to see this more often. Most actors have been seen sliding down the perceived hierarchy of the entertainment field, with the most common . Some artists, however, can turn this to their advantage; a common reason cited by many successful artists who engage in this trope is that a high- paying job that doesn't greatly interest them means that they have more money to put into funding and appearing in lower- budget but more creatively appealing ones. Even if it is for the money, the level can be kept high and professional and they can turn out something great (like the example with Coppola and The Godfather). People in creative jobs need an income the same as anyone else, and in fact, many of the greatest popcorn flicks of all time are great primarily because the studio shelled out the money to get actors and directors who would rather be doing something else, but who were still prepared to give the audience a good performance. As a result, rather paradoxically, an artist who takes the job for the money is perhaps best trying to put in a decent (or at least entertaining) performance even in a movie that doesn't match up to their standards. Whether they Took the Bad Film Seriously or end up Chewing the Scenery with Ham and Cheese, they're likely to elicit more respect from the audience than if they took the money but made it clear through their performance that they couldn't care less for anything but the paycheck. Note that this also applies to starring in big US television shows; with multi- million dollar deals commonplace, it can allow you to be a lot more choosy for the next few years. The fear that . And, again, they're not exaggerating: any actor, young and old, always deals with extremely uneven income flow with absolutely no hard guarantees for the future. Not to be confused with Only in It for the Money, which is when this is the excuse a character uses in- story. Ahmed describes that his first reaction was to reject the role on principle, because every time an ethnic actor takes a stereotypical role it just perpetuates the problem.. The pay- grade for dubbing anime is laughably low. In fact, actor/singer Eric Stuart (of Pok. As a result, actors who take these jobs and aren't. Doing It for the Art are doing it for this reason. Yet compared to the other localization companies out there, it paid its actors very well. As a result, it's rare to hear any NYC- based voice actor complain about the company's existence, despite any personal feelings they might have over their editing practices. This fact was laid bare when 4. Kids lost the Pok. Veronica Taylor and Eric Stuart in particular went berserk. Subverted in that the movie is now considered a classic. Conan asked him why he did the film, and Ben fittingly told him . You could see how bemused Affleck was as he admitted that he thought Blade Runner was the better movie. Co- star Paul Giamatti referred to the film as . She accepted the . This film has a strange history; before Berry was attached it was a generic superhero film. After getting her, it became a vanity film for Berry, and they shoehorned in the Catwoman angle. Perhaps Money, Dear Boy was at work when DC Comics allowed their trademarked name to be used in a film they had no input to. It really didn't help that the actual Catwoman character was off- limits because of the possibility she would appear in another Batman movie. He even pulled out of the lead role in The King's Speech (which won Colin Firth an Oscar) to do the latter. Or perhaps for Awesome, Dear Boy, as he has an entry there for Legion as well. Possibly both. And in a more quality product, but admittedly done for cash: the voice of Jarvis in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. See the Superman franchise, Apocalypse Now, and the 1. The Island of Doctor Moreau. Incidentally, Brando received, as a salary for the entirety of his work on The Godfather, approximately 1% of his Superman: The Movie salary, which was once calculated by The Guinness Book of Records as eight dollars for every second he was on screen. Given the Troubled Production, he later regretted it. Thewlis skipped the film's premiere and has vowed to never watch it. Due to a combination of factors (including unscrupulous film studios, his absence from the U. S. He turned in roles in scores of schlocky films, and would always note to his son that because the studios and government felt compelled to try to screw him over at every opportunity, he could do the same thing to make money on projects that were beneath his star power. She promptly answered that she needed the money. The interviewer started to laugh, but stopped shortly when he noticed Ms. Bullock was serious. When asked about his appearance in Armageddon, he replied, . After his work on Jaws IV, Caine finally started turning down offers like this. At least until his appearance in Bewitched. Caine said of Jaws IV: . However, I have seen the house it built, and it is terrific. He reiterates that actors need to pay the bills like everyone else, and notes other side- benefits of being tied to a production. In the case of Congo, he was flown to Costa Rica, and his scenes did not involve the rest of the main cast so he was only needed on set one day a week. The rest of the time he toured Costa Rica on the studio's dime, . As his Congo co- star Ernie Hudson once said: . On the stage he played Hamlet. On the screen he played, well, damn near anything. He wasn't just in B- movies, he appeared in Z- movies like Red Zone Cuba and Vampire Men of the Lost Planet. And his son David Carradine definitely followed in his footsteps. Even if Connery hadn't phoned in the role, it would still be considered one of the worst of the Bond movies (and definitely the worst starring Connery). However, after she got fired from Hush.. Hush, Sweet Charlotte, originally intended to be the Spiritual Successor to Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, no one can deny that her film choices later in life were less motivated by the need for fame and more influenced by cold, hard cash (which was apparently caused by her star power fading and her being ousted from the board of Pepsi, formerly run by her deceased husband). This would explain why she went from dramatic leading roles to scenery- chewing in various cheap horror films produced by William Castle or Herman Cohen, as well as appearances in several short- lived television series — although she did also appear in the most guest- star laden episode of The Man from U. N. C. L. E. As Neil Deagle of Bad Movie Night explained about Trog (her final film), . But, hey, a girl's gotta eat. She was paid very well for the movie too, and a good portion of the budget was spent to ensure she had her own wardrobe van. So when he was offered a role in Stargate, he insisted on a $1 million salary, figuring there'd be no way they'd be willing to pay him that much. But his offer was accepted, and he decided that it'd be nice to have some financial security, so he took the role. I have a certain manual- labourist view of acting. There's no shame in taking a film because you need some fucking money. There's a rhyming lament of the American Foreign- Film viewer that goes: . He tends to alternate several . While there are obviously exceptions on both sides, it can be assumed he takes the Hollywood parts to pay for the independent ones.

It's a safe bet that if he isn't starring in an indie film or one of his past franchise roles, he's probably doing it for the paycheck.

His contract was for 2% of Lucas' own 1/5 share of the film's gross earnings, which ended up (unexpectedly, to most observers) being among the most lucrative film deals ever made. This tempered his later opinion of the film; he deeply resented being identified with a film he vocally didn't respect, but had to admit he owed his later ability to be very picky with roles to the resulting financial independence. A good example was the film Lucky Lady, which was a film that he didn't even want to do until Fox offered him $1. He decided that it would be obscene not to take the offer and accepted the part.
