Bruce Willis surfaced in Four Rooms with a very unusual check—zero. He was doing it for free because of restrictive rules put on him by the Directors Guild of America, as the film was considered a low-budget indie. Willis appeared as the kooky character Leo with his friend and director Quentin Tarantino and his love for the project. While his co-stars took home modest fees, Willis's compromise on salary shows just how important personal connections can sometimes trump financial considerations in the movie industry.
