Muze07 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Full story here I think they should give him alarger cut it only seems fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashon. Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Depending on how much the other protagonist voice actors got should see if this was fair or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brotha Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I think he deserves more, I mean, He went to school to learn Serbian..just for a couple of sentences to make it real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bossman Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 The guy sounded totally convincing, I'm not sure what country the actor is from but he sounds exceptional as Niko. I think he should have got at least 1 million US, 100 thousand is too stingy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletproofboy Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Michael Hollick only got $100k.. he should have got much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Wow, 1 million? That sounds way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bossman Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yes, too much. Around 250 thousand would be suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ-34 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Larger cut for sure, GTA has money and he is the biggest voice in GTA history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Larger cut for sure, GTA has money and he is the biggest voice in GTA history. Balls is he, Ray Liotta is the biggest voice in GTA History. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANNYELL Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) 100 k is to little for what he did, i think 500K will be fair, at least!!!!! Edited May 21, 2008 by DANNYELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Larger cut for sure, GTA has money and he is the biggest voice in GTA history. Balls is he, Ray Liotta is the biggest voice in GTA History. X2 Ray Liotta+GTA= Tommy Vercetti And this voice actor was sweet too. I never knew he went to Serbian school (quite a lot of commitment) reminds me of how Heath Ledger locked himself a hotel room for a couple of weeks just to play The Joker. This guy should've been payed at least double the amount about 250k sounds fair to me. Edited May 22, 2008 by Artur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutu Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Around 250 thousand would be suitable. That sounds fair. He did do the voice of Niko Bellic, I belive that's well over 10.000 dialogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 News post fully explaining the situation here. He got paid $100k for the voice, and he's complaining that he doesn't earn any royalties, which would happen if this was film acting etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Bear in mind that R*/TT is a business & ultimately their goal is to make money. In the article, he blames the union (I think he's right) for not getting him a decent contract w/ royalties. He knew what he was making up front & he didn't have to handle PR headaches like J(A)T or will have to deal w/ settlements like the one from SA's "Hot Coffee" In R*'s defense, they gave a nobody $100,000 for pretty easy work, he just had the right voice for the part & I'm pretty sure he can deduct the cost of the language classes from 100% from his taxes as he used that for a legitimate job. He also got exposure & will probably get more work just because he was Niko Bellic. He'll probably start out playing villians in James Bond movies or maybe catch a part on a TV series (Stargate Atlantis?) Considering that, I'd be real happy to get what he did w/out breaking my back.
