Hearing Gentle Hum -- Finn Brothers
I think this is my favorite Internet list in a while: The 25 most shameless paycheck-grabbing movie roles in history, courtesy of AOL's corporate sibling, Entertainment Weekly. I don't know that I agree with all their choices (why they would choose Laurence Oliver's check-grabbing role in Clash of the Titans and ignore his even more money-hungering role as Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Inchon! is completely beyond me), but I like that it's not just me who looked at some of these roles and thought "someone's got a mortgage payment."
Can you think of a shameless paycheck role that's not on this list?

They picked the wrong Sean Connery movie. I have no problem with him playing Bond. BUT, that movie with him doing the voice of the dragon (I want to say Dragonheart, but I'm not sure)? Now, THAT was all about the money.
Other than that, well... Max Von Sydow in Strange Brew comes to mind. And, well... I don't know what can top Christopher Plummer doing the voice of a random pedestrian in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game. I mean, not even the entire cast of the movie Airport '77 could beat that.
