Top 10 Actors Who Were Legally Forced Into Roles

Cat in the hat was mike Meyers doing the Shrek voice in a different movie.

I LOVE The cat in a hat ❤️
Proves that Mike Myers is such an amazing actor that he played that role like he never had an issue 👏🏼 BRAVO 👏🏼

I loved a cat in the hat I still watch it

Cat in the hat was hilarious man.

Schieder not Schnieder. PUTZ.

There's no 'n' in Roy Scheider's name. You spelled it right, but pronounced it wrong at least 3 times.

Come on people that Cat in the Hat was hilarious. Sorry not sorry Mike was forced to do it, it was an absolute treat. "Im easy like Sunday morning..."




I feel like people dont understand the targetted audience. I feel like it was not so much for kids, but for the adults that grew up reading the book.

SCHEIDER!!!! NOT SCHNEIDER!!!

You forgot Jessica Chastain in Huntsman Winter’s war. She had to do it if she wanted to be in Crimson Peak.

What about Bill Murray and Garfield?

Personally, I am just disturbed by how easily the public will turn against a movie start on the basis of even *ONE* bad film! If an actor or actress has done well in a large number of roles in good films, then it's insane to hold the occasional flop against them! WTF?!?

Roy schieder, not Schneider

I like scarlet widow

Some of these movies wasn't so bad I love daredevil I figured something was wrong when they killed Tatum in the first 10 mins of the GI Joe movie lol

7:00 To think it worked out for him.

2:57 Like the first one, I presume?

1:12 Is that Terrence Stamp?

0:47 It`s just as well as I actually bought this film ALONG with Daredevil.

Yep, this whole video just SCREAMS studio interference to me. Forcing actors into films in order to make lots of cold hard cash, mostly because of how famous these actors are.

Although, Mike Mike WAS forced INTO Cat In The Cat, it was likely the idea of some studio execs needing the idea of it......just so they can make money.

I actually liked Goldberg in Theodore Rex. Goes to show how much I like her if I'm willing to watch something even she publicly found atrocious.

Roy "Schneider"?

I liked Theodore Rex and Cat in the Hat as a kid...

I myself really liked Elektra...MUCH more than DD.

Mike Myers made his Cat in the hat seem so goofy, childish and so fucking funny

"Roy Schneider"? That kind of mispronounciation of such a legendary actor's name is unforgivable for a professional production of cinematic history.

Sad. No wonder these movies sucked.

Dammit, it's Scheider, not Schneider.

the cat in the hat is legendary

I'm surprised that there's such hatred for Cat in the Hat, I always thought that people viewed it as just a silly little Mike Myers film from their childhood like I do. Comparing it to the Grinch it definitely is the weaker film, but I'm not sure what about it warrants such a deep hatred for it.

4:50 cat in the hat

Cutthroat Island is cinematic genius.

Omg Keanu reeves luck is haa im glad he's a cool guy

Nobody could be forced but it would give you a bad reputation in Hollywood

I don't understand why anyone would want to make a bad movie

The actor who starred in Jaws was Roy Scheider not Roy SchNeider

Scheider ...no 'N'. You're gonna need a new narrator.

G.I. Joe was a pretty good one.

“Kids these days don’t know Whoopi Goldberg”?????????????

It's "Roy Scheider" not "Roy Schneider."
No "N".

The Keanu Reeves one doesn't sound very legal to me.

I LOVE the cat in the hat !!!

The amount of people here claiming to have loved The Cat in the Hat movie makes me VERY uneasy

I don’t care what you say cat in the hat is a great film

Scheider not Schneider.

3:46 IT'S THE DOCTOR

I'm thinking Mike Myers was smart enough to pretend that he didn't want to do Cat In The Hat. End up doing the film, and fullfill his contract.

I loved Electra....

Scheider! No N!

Emily's doing fine. lol

...and movie 43??

I loved Theodore Rex when I was a kid, it actually made me a huge fan of Whoopi Goldberg

It's Roy Scheider not Schnider you idoits! The fact you can't pronounce a name correctly makes the rest of the video suspect.

The cat in the hat is a favorite of my sons. I'm glad Myers did it. So narrator guy you are wrong in your assessment of the movie as most of the comments seem to be in agreement and critics , well critics are as irrelevant as the "EXPERTS" that give their opinions on outcomes of elections.....

I did not expect Geena Davis in Cutthroat island, I loved the movie and she did great!!

MIKE MYERS?! 😱😱😱😱😂😂😂

I actually really love Cutthroat Island. I hate that it flopped and destroyed a company. When I saw it, I actually thought it would bring back the pirate genre.

The cast of the original Ghostbusters in the remake.

Roy SCHNEIDER?

Well they should of donated the money!!

I'm sorry, but what good movie has Channing ever done?

But i loved Elektra 😭

Cat in the Hat was painful to watch.

Surprised to hear Mike Myers didn't want to do the Cat in the Hat. It didn't seem like it. But he's Canadian isn't he so he was probably just being nice :-)

To this day the cat in the hat makes me laugh hysterically. Such an underrated masterpiece

Cutthroat Island was an awesome movie!

Jon Favreau in that Dare Devil scene almost qualifies or for an MCU film

Was the 3rd one Spencer from icarly

Damn. A lot of those movies ruined those actor's/actresses careers

There is no "n" in Roy Scheider.. Like fingernail on a chalkboard everytime you say Schneider.

How dare you say that about cat in the hat

I see no one else playing Black Widow

Stop saying Schneider it is SCHEIDER
THERE IS NO 'N' IN THE NAME

I own Theodore Rex and honestly if she tried it wouldn’t have been oh so bad. You can tell she isn’t playing much of a part. The story was shit but an over all fun film for kids if you aren’t a helicopter mom who insist her child see no death or violence.... I mean it’s Dinosaurs for Christ sake.. what kid doesn’t love dinosaurs

You missed Alicia Silverstone in batman

I liked Daredevil as a kid it has the Greenmile guy in as the bad guy

So... I'm the only one who enjoyed cutthroat island back in the day?

Who's Roy Schneider?

You missed 2016 Ghostbusters! Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigorney Weaver and Annie Potts all didn't want to be apart of it, but were legally forced into it. I don't know if Annie didn't want to be apart of it, but I do know that the rest didn't want any part of it. That is why there's going to be a Ghostbusters 3 in the works.

I still think that Jim Carrey would’ve been great as the Cat in the Hat!

To us normies working our average jobs. This is the actor/actresses equivalent of having to clean the work toilet or deal with unruly customers. Only they still get paid way more than us lol

a lot of these films are horrible, but to me the biggest box office flop that comes to mind if gigli with ben affleck and jennifer lopez. it was....so hard to get through. also interesting to learn that emily blunt was almost black widow....not sure it would have been the same had she played the role.

This is why there needs to be an agency clause in either all contracts or added to our US constitution. The legal action these studios throw on to the actors is ridiculous. It’s almost like being held hostage in order to perform. The studio is free to bail on a picture at any time, but the actor is not and that, to me, violates the spirit of being a free human being. Yeah, technically they can still walk away and be forced to pay a hefty legal fine, but with a fine being that gross, it’s practically financially binding someone into servitude. Everyone deserves a clean escape from a contract when they feel it is something they no longer want to be apart of.

Whats up with these lawsuits? 😂🙈 Gadamn. could hollywood Chill?

sh-ider

I actually liked "Daredevil". And "Elektra."

I feel like chris evans is a good example of a guy who signed a multi picture deal without realizing what he was getting himself into. Yes it was great for his career but he has said before its caused him a lot of anxiety and he doesn't like the attention he gets now

Roy... SHNEIDER? Really? There's no N in his last name.

It's Roy SCHEIDER, not SCHNEIDER. Damn.

SCHEIDER, not SCHNEIDER! PAY ATTENTION!

Cat in the hat is funny af bro

You'd think production studios would reconsider the script or even entire movie if their lead actors are refusing to act in it.

These people don’t know what their talking about the cat in the hat was a great movie.

The guys voice made it unbearable to watch

I actually liked most of these movies and am bummed that Channing didn't want to play Duke. The cast of GI Joe were awesome!

As a kid i loved theodore rex

Channing Tatum should be happy that anyone would want to sign him for one movie, let alone a contract.

In other words: Hollywood execs are largely unimaginative pricks.

Wtf I loved cutthroat island ...great movie

Obligated to be paid a bunch of money for possibly crappy films. Oh the humanity.
