Chapelsky recalls a demand by one top talent for $750,000 to do an hour's worth of voice work. He said it is common for star talent to receive in the high five figures for a single session

From your link. Funny... it says "an hours worth of voice work" I'm fairly certain Andy put in a lot more than an hour. And BTW he isn't a C- actor as much as you'd like to believe. That would be someone like Keanu Reeves. And since Keanu has the matrix on his resume no matter what he does he'll get over paid for how horrible of an actor he is. Just like Andy no matter what since he has Gollum on his resume he will get over paid... and he isnt as bad as Keanu

I'm glad you read my link.  And yeah, I already said the $750k figure, which Chapelsky singled out as the highest figure and also mentioned wasn't the norm for his production company.  

Also, I didn't call Serkis a C-grade actor (though personally, his Gollum sucked).  I called him a C-grade name.  Keanu's pretty easily A-list, no matter his actual acting ability.


Let me counter your last comment with:

"the 2 voice actors (not only did they do the voice but they also acted using mocap) taking a few million alone."

And you do know that Andy not only did the VA for the main villian (which is a lot longer than 1 hour of work which your link suggests) but he was also the director, writer, and physical actor. A few million for him would not be out of the question.

Also, this game was obviously a super high budget game... you don't think they would of done something like... I don't know not do something normal and blow part of their ultra high budget on over paying someone? People have been saying bad management this whole thread. Over paying someone would just be one example of that.
