Zack Sharf John DiMaggio and Hulu jointly announced March 1 that original Bender voice actor would return for the show’s upcoming revival.
DiMaggio’s involvement was in question after he originally refused to join the revival because he felt the cast was not being paid enough.
If you assumed DiMaggio’s return meant he was able to get his desired pay raise, then you’d be wrong.“People are like, ‘I’m so glad you got more money!
I didn’t get more money,” DiMaggio recently revealed at Phoenix Fan Fusion (via /Film). “But what I did get was a lot of respect, and a lot of head nods from people who are like, ‘Yo bro, I see you and thank you.'”DiMaggio called it “quite rewarding” to be praised by colleagues for speaking out about unfair pay, adding, “Trying to get money out of Disney is like trying to get blood from a stone — you ain’t gonna get it!” “But listen, this was the best thing about that fight: I had Disney, Hulu, I was holding on to their collective testicles so hard that they couldn’t, y’know, there was nowhere for them to go,” the voice actor added. “But there was also nowhere for me to go, and who wants to hold on to those for that long?”Variety reached out to Disney for comment, but the studio does comment on matters of compensation.Hulu announced the “Futurama” reboot on February 9, with DiMaggio sitting out but original cast members Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman all returning.
