Every single one of these actors could choose, at any moment, to just walk off set.
They're wealthy as fuck. Back out of the contract and Take the hit. Have some fucking morals, you can absolutely afford it.
No respect for any of these actors who continued working after finding out who was behind it.
In fact, if they really did dupe them, they might be able to get out of the contract without having to pay anything. And they'd probably get a ton of great press to boot.
From what I read, a significant number of the crew bailed as soon as they found out. Working people who most certainly need the money more than any of the actors I've seen listed.
Shameful.
From what I read in another article he’s in a lot of debt and filed for bankruptcy not too long ago. I want to assume the people that walked off set don’t owe millions of dollars.
Only reason I would agree on a moral level to not immediately walk off set would be to wait a few days to see if a good lawyer can find a clean break from the contract.
After all, why pay the people you don't even want to work with? Don't give them a penny and actually screw them instead of a knee jerk reaction.
