“Smallville” star Michael Rosenbaum says he refused to return after Season 7 when the studio asked him to do three more seasons without a pay raise: “It was like, ‘Hey, we want you to sign a three-year deal and give you no increase in pay.’ Anybody who works in any business, it's like, ‘I'm an integral part of this success, don't I need to get rewarded?’ I said, ‘Yeah, no thanks.’ And that was it.” Watch the full video:

Nicolas Cage says he’s “probably not” working with Amazon again after refusing to sign an AI waiver for #SpiderNoir: “Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI,” Cage said at #NYCC. “I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s okay.”

Ryan Reynolds says ’80s nostalgia “paves over all the trauma” of the “tumultuous” decade: “The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off a Cuban missile crisis, which was only 15-20 years before. It’s a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now and you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah. ‘Top Gun.’ Cocaine!’ Like, ‘No!’ It was really scary.” In Apple TV’s “Mayday,” Reynolds stars as a U.S. Navy pilot who builds an unlikely friendship with an eccentric ex-KGB agent (Kenneth Branagh) obsessed with ’80s American culture.

![Paul Rudd no longer brings his smartphone with him to set: “I don’t go to sets with a phone. I haven’t done that for a while now. It’s important to put it down. Anytime. They’re horrible things. I’m addicted to it like everybody else. They’re facilitating our own destruction.” Rudd revealed that director Tom McCarthy enforced a “very strict no phones policy” on the set of their new movie “A Statement,” which he found brought his castmates closer together and made filming feel more like a play. “The world has changed since cell phones have existed. We don’t look at each other or talk to each other quite the same way,” Rudd said. “Now, [with the phone ban], we were forced to really spend time with each other and talk. Working on a movie set in 1980, we’re dressed in a certain kind of way. It felt like, ‘Oh, yeah. I remember this. This feels like it used to feel when people sat around and spoke to one another.’”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2106532564970152446/amplify_video_thumb/2106532455251374080/img/A0CSLfxWlVWWbCoq.jpg)
