Ving Rhames earned $7.7 million for his brief cameo appearance in Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol. Luther Stickell appeared only in the tail end of the film, but for fans looking at the big picture, he was just one part of what made the franchise's continuity possible.

This is a pretty big paycheck for someone with as long a history with the franchise as he has. He has been a series regular since the first "Mission."
