Daniel Stern, the actor famous for making generations of viewers laugh through his role as Marv, the clumsy burglar from Home Alone, surprised his fans by revealing how he skillfully negotiated a special clause in his contract that led to him earning millions in royalties.
It’s a well-known fact that the first film became an international phenomenon soon after its release in 1990. Thirsting for a sequel, 20th Century Studios approached the actor to reprise his role for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
While initially excited about the opportunity, Stern soon discovered that his co-stars, from Joe Pesci to Macaulay Culkin, were all set to make considerably more than him. Believing he deserved a better deal, the actor fired his agent and took matters into his own hands.
