Do you think he's greedy?


John DiMaggio has confirmed he will return to the reboot of Futurama completing the final piece of all the original cast members to return after fighting Disney over MORE pay but DOESN'T say if the other cast members got a pay increase as well!!

He voices the popular robot character, Bender and is the last original cast member to sign up after his dispute over pay went viral last month when fans noticed he was missing when the announcement was made

He made a u-turn after initially stating he was not coming back over the pay and said "it's about self-respect" that voice actors do not get paid as they should today even though his other co-stars accepted the pay offered by Disney which he was the only one who soundly rejected.

A couple weeks later, he didn't insist on wanting more pay than his other cast members but that "all" of them should get paid more though he wouldn't confirm if they got a bump in pay either!!

He posted the update "I"M BACK, BABY! So damn grateful for the love and support of fans and colleagues alike during this whole time (especially my wife, Kate) and i cannot wait to get back to work with my Futurama family. #Bendergate is officially over, so put it on the back of a shelf behind Xmas decorations or maybe in that kitchen drawer with all other **** you put in there like unusable crazy glue or maybe even put it in a jar you save farts in. I"M BACK, BABY! BITE MY SHINY ASS"

Matt Groening and David X. Cohen also shared the happy news and thanked him for returning for the FOURTH time after several cancellations prior

Do you think he was greedy?

The others should've negotiated better.

Why is bender the most popular character, again? Fry is the main character and is a better character and zoidberg might be a better character

I thought the implication from his holding out was that the others were getting paid more than him. West and Sagal are both bigger names than DiMaggio.

John Dimaggio is definitely a bigger name actor than Katie Sagal.

As a VA, sure. But she's had huge parts on Married with Children and Sons of Anarchy.

Dimaggio is Bender, Marcus Fenix and Jake the Dog. 3 characters that are insanely popular, well after their series ended.

Just because you are physically on screen doesn't mean you have a more storied career.

He's popular to people like us. Some people probably wouldn't even realize that's one guy.

If anything Billy West should get paid more, considering he voices FOUR main characters on the show.

Katie had a main role in one of the most influential and best sitcoms ever that 13 countries decided to copycat, in the va business John is bigger but overall Katie is the bigger celebrity

yeah but that one show she was in is more popular worldwide than adventure time and gears of war put together (no point adding futurama since she is also in it so it balances out)

Its not about who is more popular, its about how much each individual person expects to get paid on their contracts. If he wanted more, and negotiated for more, and is happy with that, thats all that matters. If the other people were happy with what they had, then thats all that matters.

Married with Children is a great show but saying that it's a bigger name than any of those shows and one of the most popular video games ever is just ludicrous lmao.

It had a proper end this time.

That being said... I don't know why they are reviving something that had a really good definitive ending.

As long as no one knows the exact numbers of his pay it's kind of impossible to say he's in the right or wrong

Considering voice actors don't get paid any royalties, he's right to complain about how it's unfair that live action actors do get them.
