10 Actors Who Got Paid To NOT Star In Movies

7. Jack Whitehall - Frozen

British comedian Jack Whitehall is currently all set to star in the upcoming Disney film Jungle Cruise, thus making the leap from comedian to mainstream actor. However, it is not the first time he was set to star in a Disney movie as he voiced one of the characters in the original Frozen, Gothi The Troll, but the line that he recorded didn’t feature in the end product.

Whitehall has gone on record that was incredibly excited to star in the Disney masterpiece even though he only had one line: 'I troll-fully pronounce you man and wife.'

However, when he finally got around to seeing the film he saw that his line had been cut entirely with his character being pushed out of the picture before he could say it. Whitehall is still very salty about the whole affair to this day as he mentions it in interviews and even jokes about it in his stand-up shows.

Though Whitehall was still paid by Disney for his role, he remains uncredited on the film and, to quote his agent, his role was reduced to a ‘non-speaking’ part, which Whitehall rightfully claims is nonsense on an animated film as they could have just done the same had he not turned up at all.

Nonetheless he still appeared as Gothi The Troll in Frozen On Broadway to make up for the whole affair.
