Terrence and Taraji sound like broke artists

[Forsaken]

I’m sure it was a lot more hidden than just have a lawyer do due diligence. If anything, that’s what he’s got lawyers doing NOW after realizing he not only didn’t get what he asked for, but people in the agency were intentionally misleading him.

It’s hard to see it when you’re in it. Especially I imagine he was probably working a lot in general.

Hindsight is 20/20. He tried to play hardball with marvel and lost the war machine role. There are other actors out there.

Why don't they have lawyers to do due diligence and to be present when signing contracts?

As you can read in the article, it wasn’t the contract per se that was the issue. It was the misleading information where the agency falsified/hid information that was relevant. Comparative pay for headliners in shows that were equally popular was way higher but the agency said it was similar to his. That, coupled with the conflict of interest part of the suit, could be very damaging for the agency, especially if the producers were making much more than normal.

That has nothing to do with the fact that he’s stating the people in the agency misled him falsely.

In other words, your comparison is just to make it seem as if him not taking the iron man role is the reason why his agency SHOULDNT show him correct information, or that his agency SHOULD collude with the studios to short change him.

That sounds stupid as fukk.

What’s bad is instead of people viewing it as a typical contractual debate between him and his agency, the first thing nikkas are saying is “he broke” or “he should have done this” knowing damn well he isn’t broke and if he did do what you said, he would have sold himself short, which, you would think, real ass mfers would support to NOT sell yourself short.

Hollywood has started getting even dirtier with the production company and actors both represented by the same agents. Basically instead of negotiating for the best interest of Terrence they could be trying to sell a package of producers, actors, directors to a project. It's like if in boxing the Mohammad Ali act didn't exist and you could be the promoter and manager of a boxer.

The WGA sued the agencies four years ago over this VERY SAME thing you mentioned. Looks like the actor’s guild may have to do the same

It wasn’t even “hardball” he was trying to play. He just wanted the studio to honor the contract he’d ALREADY signed and agreed to. They basically told him “****** F U C K a contract you getting 7 million dollars less than what was promised. Take it or leave it”. ANY self respecting person in that situation would have walked away.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying your agent shows you a deal. You can take it or not.

He was obviously cool with 325k an episode when he agreed to the deal. Now years later he trying to squeeze more cash out. He isn't new to the industry.

And HE IS SAYING the agency lied to him; why is that too hard to understand?

Only a person that doesn’t do deals regularly would count this as greed.

I don't think CAA should be representing both parties. However, realistically them being on both sides of the deal is an advantage to other CAA actors.
