Tom Hollander is not an unknown actor, in fact he has participated in large productions as Pirates of the Caribbeanwhere we can see him playing the officer Lord Cutler Beckett, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nationor the series Infiltrationalong with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie, and The White Lotuswhich have earned him two BAFTAs, but even he was surprised with a check that arrived in your name but it wasn’t for him.
During his recent appearance on the show Late Night With Seth Meyersthe actor, who, as you may have already noticed, shares almost a first and last name with Tom Hollandrevealed how a few years ago in his agency, which at that time was the same as that of good old Spider-Man or young Nathan Drake, got confused and sent him money that was not hisbut one that he surely wouldn’t have minded receiving.
The hefty bonuses for The Avengers
“The people in the accounts department at my agency got confused. We were with the same agents briefly. And it was a terrible moment,” Hollander told Meyers when he brought up the anecdote. “I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England. I sat smugly in the audience after doing a BBC show for $30,000…intermission came and I checked my email and I received one from the agency that said: ‘Proof of payment for the first bonus box office The Avengers‘”.
“I don’t remember having been in The Avengers” Hollander says he thought at the time, but he opened the email anyway, and what he read stunned him. “It was a amazing amount of money“says the actor. “It wasn’t his salary. Was his first box office bonus. Not the whole bonus, the first one. And it was more money than she had ever seen. It was one seven figure sum“.
The Avengers numbers
The first film of The Avengers, released in 2012 and directed by Joss Whedon, had an estimated production budget of around $220 million. However, its success at the box office was extraordinary, as it grossed more than 1.5 billion dollars Worldwide. This impressive performance made it one of the most successful films of all time, cementing the impact and popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
