10 Actors Who Were Paid Almost Nothing For Great Roles

10. Jonah Hill - $60,000 (The Wolf Of Wall Street)

Jonah Hill has had one of the most astonishing career transformations of all time. Going from "one of the funny kids" in Superbad to being an Oscar-nominated actor in the space of a few years is extremely impressive, and it's clear that he was always determined to become a serious dramatic actor.

In fact, he was so determined to become a serious dramatic actor that he even took a massive pay cut on The Wolf Of Wall Street, just so he could work with legendary director Martin Scorsese.

Instead of his normal seven-figure sum, Hill accepted a meagre - in comparison - $60,000 to play the wild and rambunctious Donnie Azoff. In comparison, Leonardo DiCaprio was paid $10 million for the same movie.

While $60,000 for half a year's work doesn't sound like "nothing", that's pocket change to Hill. It did pay off though, because not only did he work with Scorsese, but he also earned an Oscar nod (Best Supporting Actor) for his efforts.
