Gary Oldman admitted that his part in the 2014 RoboCop reboot, Dr. Dennett Norton, wasn't inspired by an artistic imperative. The actor disclosed he merely wanted stability in his finances, saying that he accepted and also said "Why am I in this movie? Money." Although Oldman did a great job in the film, the latter was not impressive enough to attract those who loved the original. Oldman's candidness about his choice highlights how even critically acclaimed actors sometimes take roles purely for practical reasons, balancing art with economic realities.
