They don't talk about the business side of the industry much, but I'm always interested in this too.

Recently saw an interview with Kevin Pollack and they were asking him about A Few Good Men. He said Jack Nicholson signed on for a discounted fixed rate but he only gave them five days of shooting or something like that and anything extra was some outrageous per diem like $1 million. They finished the filming shots in time but they still needed an extra day for voice dubs and offscreen lines. They couldn't afford to keep Jack on set, so they had Kevin, who apparently did a spot on Nicholson impression, say the lines.

That is a classic late night interview- was it Conan?
