10 Actors You Had No Idea Produced Awesome Movies

6. Matt LeBlanc - Jonah Hex

The story behind Matt LeBlanc's involvement in Jonah Hex is an odd one. Eva Longoria financing John Wick may have seemed like a situation where she didn't know what she was getting into. If we're to compare that to Matt LeBlanc's situation, he may as well have written a blank check for any movie and Jonah Hex was what happened to be made with that money.

LeBlanc had made a deal with Warner Bros. to make the TV show Joey based on the character of the same name he played in Friends. That deal just so happened to be a production deal. This granted him his own production company to produce shows and movies.

The thing was, LeBlanc didn't really enjoy the process of producing. Too many long meetings that amounted to nothing soured him on the idea, so he quickly gave that up.

The only problem was that the studio didn't. They went on to make Jonah Hex while he was still an owner of the production company. The best part was the he didn't even find out that Jonah Hex had been made until after his production company had shut down. He still was credited and even had to pay the fee for it.
