Sources differ but according to some accounts, Empire star Jussie Smollett was dissatisfied with the salary he was getting on the show and demanded a pay raise many times. 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.

Just to educate you, the PRODUCER not the DIRECTOR is the one who handles the budget of the production. This includes how much the actor gets paid. They handle both above the line, the people needed before principal photography - Director, executive producer, line producer and screen writer, principal cast (the actors) and in some cases the Cinematographer; as well as below the line, the crew needed during production. Like anything all those people getting paid involves hagling.

Kirstie Alley's version of events is not supported by anyone else involved in ST 3. Rather, her agent asked for a much higher fee--higher than Deforest Kelly, a bedrock of the franchise, was getting for the film. Leonard Nimoy, the director of the film, was told there was no flexibility in Alley's position, so he was forced to recast the role.

[@leonardmichaelmarkrandrup2375]

Greed comes from both ways...the actors/actresses and the producers who want more for less.

[@kevinhealey6540]

I think these stuidos do this as a precendent. The reason being, if one actor in the cast starts demanding more money than the other actors in the cast are going to follow suit. 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.

[@kevinhealey6540]

However, if the studio is desparate for some actress or actor to play a part, they will indeed give an inducement. Natalie Wood instead of taking a fee for the film "Bob, Ted, Carol and Alice, was given 1% of the total profit. She made 30 million instead of the 3 mil, which was her standard fee.

@@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.

A story of greediness and stinginess

[@Stormprobe]

What about Suzanne Summers and Three‘s Company?

[@sas2300]

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.

[@lavalampluva55401]

There is a difference between being greedy and being toxic.

$55,000 per episode, that's ALOT!

The Dukes got the last laugh.....GOOD GOOD GOOD!!!

Hey Chong, I'd have done your job for 250k! I actually have a real job and make 250k after maybe 5 years of working! They don't have award cermonies for my occupation either! SMH, pure greed!

Cheech was smarter! He still works.

Jlo is a successful celeb who's marginal talent has over exceeded her talent parameters

[@joebarr725]

Calling her talent marginal is very generous.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

A Leyva, Jlow became famous for her role as Selena. That fame has been slowly going away since then. Maybe she'll marry another highly wealthy sucker again.

It is a criminal act to drug anyone for any reason.

Director : We need u to camoe in this movie . Actor : Okay just add extra classic food and proper 🍺. Director: No ! Cancel the contract 🤣

John Wayne did a cameo for a bottle of whiskey.

Lol Hugo wants full pay for 10 lines of dialogue....

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

[@martinschulz9381]

In the case of the Dukes, I believe that the studio wasn't honoring the contract and not paying them what they had coming. They did the same thing to James Garner in the Rockford Files show. Studios are crooked.

[@colinluckens9591]

KIRSTIE ALLEY WASN'T BEING GREEDY, JUST DECIDING TO NOT BE COMPLETELY DISRESPECTED!!!

I had a Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox when I was a kid and a thermos..

Every time I see one of these videos, it makes me so happy to be a nobody. LOL!!

[@geoffreytudor5674]

I'm amazed you didn't reference David Caruso, who torpedoed the mega-celeb status he got from debuting "NYPD Blue" after one season (eventually resurfacing in CSI, Miami. Grabbed the news cycle for a long while, he became a byword for stupid and greedy and sank from sight for years. Too long ago for your demographic?

[@curtisthomas2670]

He should've stayed out if sight. His role in CSI is like a series of running gags

[@dbycrash]

The 1980’s!?! No I don’t cover historical events

[@encycl07pedia-]

I mean they mentioned Dukes of Hazzard, so I'd say not too long ago.

[@blurtam188]

Shame on Fox and The Simpsons - that is a very small amount of money to have paid Maude Flanders!!
