20 times actors were drastically underpaid for iconic roles

Trending

For Hill, the opportunity to work under director Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio was worth more than money. The gamble proved to be the right one as he was nominated for an Oscar for the role and proved himself as a serious actor capable of doing both drama and comedy.
