8) Ryan Gosling - Half Nelson
Ryan Gosling was paid only $1,000 per week for playing a teacher hooked on drugs in Half Nelson (2006). The indie film won Gosling his first Oscar nomination, but the low budget would not accommodate high prices. This role has helped Gosling move on from romantic comedies and dive into serious dramas, making him known as a versatile actor. For this low paycheck, the project has been appreciated, and he has talked about how the film affected his career.
