Est. Salary Forfeiture: $20 million*
Among the finest parts of the sensational Star Wars saga was actor Harrison Ford, who reputedly sought to be freed from the franchise due to the fact that he actually was afraid of becoming “typecast” after playing Han Solo in the franchise even in its earlier installment, and would end up being recognized only for playing that part.

He overcame his concern of being placed in classification fear in his famous Indiana Jones roles and even did make a brief comeback to the movie. He suggested making a cameo as his famous role in the newest installment of the movie franchise given the condition that his participation would not be announced in the introductions or the trailers. Ford departed the Star Wars franchise to become among the business’s most recognizable figures, appearing in blockbusters too many to mention. As it turned out, he made the right decision as he is now better recognized for the person that he actually is.

Leonard Nimoy’s withdrawal from the renowned NBC program Star Trek was recently discussed by William Shatner. Captain Spock played by Nimoy directly handled his arc’s conclusion in the installment Wrath of Khan, where he also helmed his dramatic perishing scene. However, nobody from Nimoy’s co-stars at the moment were aware that he intended to permanently depart the franchise in order to pursue something else.

Nimoy resigned because he was “indifferent” about the character and wanted to proceed to something else, according to writer Nicholas Meyer who also worked with Nimoy for an extended period of time back in the past. Shatner, though, claimed that their connection was “all wonderful” and there definitely are no unresolved issues concerning any member of the cast. When Spock left the program, it was understandably a terrible day for fans all across the world, but the love for the character is vivid and thus the character has been featured in many other installments and spinoffs of the program. Despite leaving the program, the mark that he had left is there to stay.
