8 Actors Who Were Sued For Quitting Movies

8. Dieter Laser - The Human Centipede 3

The Human Centipede is the kind of cinematic icon that you're either curiously drawn to or so repulsed by that you avoid it altogether. However, even those on the latter end of that scale can probably still recognize the late great Dieter Laser, who portrayed the infamous Dr Heiter.

His time in the series wasn't a smooth ride, as he and Tom Six (the franchise's creator) found themselves going to court over the third installment. So, what brought this legal dispute about?

Well, things were set to start rolling on HC3, with Laser primed to appear, but he pulled out shortly before production, citing that he wasn't happy with the direction of his character. This caused the film to be delayed, and Tom Six shot back dramatically with a lawsuit.

The clash between them seems pretty easy to understand, as Laser claims the script arrived much later than he expected and that Six was uncooperative with the changes he wanted to make. On the other side was Six stating that Laser's ego had grown too large.

In the end, Laser and Six came together and managed to make the film, so this one ended happily. Who would have thought The Human Centipede would need legal council?
