>>212633693 (OP)There was a decent streak of time where sam jackson was the highest paid actor in hollywood.
Not because he got a shitload of money per role, but because he would show up in anything as long as the check cleared and he had the time in his schedule. And by busting his ass and working constantly on top of getting disney bux he set up a nice little nest egg while he could.
Malcolm McDowell used to talk about the same thing, it wasn't his job to decide if a movie was good or not, he's an actor, his job is to show up and do as much as possible with his character.
