10 Hilarious Reasons Actors Took Movie Roles

10. Al Pacino Starred In Jack & Jill To Try And Make It Better

Remember Jack & Jill? The awful Adam Sandler that became the first film to ever sweep the Razzies? If your answer was yes to both of those questions, then we offer our condolences.

A more pertinent question, however, is what the hell was legendary actor Al Pacino doing in that train wreck? For those who have the luxury of having not seen this Sandler stinker, then it is worth explaining Pacino's role in the film, which calling horribly embarrassing in every way might be considered generous.

In the film, Pacino plays himself as he falls in love with Sandler's twin, Jill, played by Sandler in a heavy amount of make up. Got it? Don't worry, there won't be a quiz.

Pacino revealed in an interview years later that he took roles in bad films, like Jack & Jill, on purpose as he wanted to try and make them better - challenging himself to elevate the productions.

We gotta say Al, you have to try harder.
