Some of you might know the actor and some of you might not. It’s fine because it doesn’t really matter. But if you are a fan of TV shows, you know how a TV show actor still gets called out by his character’s name after the actor ventures in films. This happens to actors, who have done the same show for years, like the cast of ‘Friends’. Actually, they were very smart to not jump into other projects straightaway. Jennifer Aniston can’t be counted because she was a huge star, thanks to her marriage to Brad Pitt. But what about Ross, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler and Joey? Till today, fans of the TV show identify them with their characters. This is why when a TV show gets renewed, which is hard these days, their lead stars might get worried after being on the same show for more than 3 seasons. Speaking of the same show, we heard Taraji P Henson might just want to quit ‘Empire’ as she doesn’t want to do the same role and wants to move on to something else. The actor in the blind item below is swimming in the same sea as other successful TV actors. He wants to do something else because he’s afraid the character that he has been playing will be the only thing that people identify him with. We think that it will be hard for him to venture into films, as there’s already someone who acts like he does and that someone is Jesse Eisenberg!

Back to this blind item, we are not going to lie, we have never understood why his TV show is so popular. We tried watching one episode and it just wasn’t along the lines of the funny shows we like to watch. It does have its own niche audience since it’s been on air for ages now. Check out the blind item below from Blind Gossip.

Hollywood Blind Item

All That F*cking Money

This comedic TV series has been on the air for a long time and is a big hit. Although the entire ensemble cast is set to come back next season, one of its stars is getting restless.

He was yelling, “I don’t want to be ‘Frazier’, playing the same character for twenty years! That’s not why I became an actor! But how do I walk away from ALL. THAT. FUCKING. MONEY?”

He definitely likes the money but he feels trapped. He doesn’t want [the character he plays on the show] to be the only character people will ever know him by. I don’t think he will ever say that in public though, because he wouldn’t want to appear ungrateful.

This isn’t a situation where the complaints are part of a negotiating tactic to squeeze every last penny out of producers. He’s already signed his contract. He must be feeling some genuine frustration about playing the same role year after year.

However, it may be hard to feel a lot of sympathy for him. We did the math, and he is making over $10 million a year. Dang! That’s a pretty sweet trap!
