Anthony Edwards stepped into Role to stop Covid cancellations

And it's very sweet that he's Mare Winningham's hubby. (I had no idea!)

Non-existent by now. TOP GUN was very early in his career so he was pretty much just paid full out. If he was given any points percentage in the film, that would have been rare. Especially on TV airings, home video sales, etc. People assume actors continue making millions for years if they did a blockbuster film. Unless they were part of the producing team as well, actors make zero once they’re done working on a film.

It doesn’t quite work like that. Residuals don’t diminish over time, they’re simply paid out each time a movie airs, and you earn them indefinitely regardless of how much you made upfront. He doesn’t need to be given “percentage points” to make residuals on airings. DVD sales, etc can be negotiated to give certain actors a higher bump, but even without that, residuals can be pretty hefty for hit movies.

I'm friends with Rick Domeier who is now a show host on QVC--the home shopping channel In years gone by he did a few roles in some movies and still gets residual checks when they're aired on TV. He had a small role with lines in DIE HARD and I actually saw the check he received for that. It was less than two dollars but he still is getting money from that film.

ANYWHO…

Did anyone actually get a chance to see any of his performances? Did he just narrate or did he have a put in for some of the choreography as well?

Edwards is reportedly worth over 35 million as of 2021. I think he is probably ok.

I really wish I could get in to see him today. I really like him. Did not know he and Winningham were married. Seems that just happened in 2021.

No need to name drop. Looks ugly. I’ve referenced many actor friends including a few currently on Broadway and one headlining a successful network sitcom and I would NEVER in my life mention their names. I’ll mention stories but never in my life would I mention their names. It’s no one’s business who they are. "



If Rick's residual check was significant, I wouldn't have mentioned him by name. However, even he jokes about these checks and says it isn't enough to pay for a regular cup of coffee at Starbucks.

I saw the show today for the first time, and it (and Edwards) was lovely. I assume that the doctor probably does some more singing/dancing during scenes that they just pulled Edwards out of? Either way, it was a great way to spend a nice afternoon.

I misread as Anthony Daniels, and I was going to say, I didn’t think he still acted; I thought he was vocationally a full-time C-3PO.

This could've been a PM, luv.

So annoying when people want to address/correct another publicly about something they probably didn't think was in bad taste. *eye roll*
