The productions require heavy budgets to make movies and series. From the cast to the equipment all require a lot of money. You might think that they would not have any issue gathering the money, with a lot of people ready to invest in them. It is true but still, it is limited considering the number of cast and equipment required. And sometimes the actors get too nosey and ask for a lot more than the budget allows. Then the movies are made without thoseactors. Here are some who got fired for being too greedy.
Hilary Duff
After the huge success of “The Lizzie McGuire Movie”, our favorite fictional teen pop star’s story began to end. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Susan – mother and manager of the young actor, told thatDisneycanceled the sequel because Hilary asked for the promised bonus immediately. She also told that the studio was asking her daughter to continue the series with $35,000 per episode. Both the sequel and the series ofLizzie McGuirewere canceled.
Kirstie Alley
InStar TrekII: Wrath of the Khan, the actor played Saavik – a Vulcan trainee. She left a mark on the audience with her acting. After this, Saavik appeared twice in the series but Kirstie Alley wasn’t the one playing the role. In a 2016 interview, Alley revealed that she was offered much less than she asked for and that the amount she asked wasn’t too much. She was offered less than she got for the first one. When she asked for a raise, she was replaced without explanation.
Crispin Glover
After playing George McFly in the firstBack to the Future, the actor disappeared from the series. He only appeared in a few recycled shots of the first film. The reason behind his disappearance was that Crispin Glover did not like the script of the sequel. He also asked similar pay as the lead – $1 Million, to return to the series. In a 2012 interview, Glover revealed that it was a lie and that he was offered much less than actors playing similar-sized roles as him. When he asked for a raise, his pay was decreased again. He said the low offer was due to his questions about the script.

The man is an electrician named Zeus Carver. In an episode of the podcast – The Rewatchables,Quentin Tarantinorevealed that the character of Zeus was written with Laurance Fishburne in mind.
