3. David Duchovny – The X-Files

Gillian Anderson consistently earned less than David Duchovny throughout X-Files’ nine-year run, but in the end it was David who walked following a pay dispute. After the seventh season he sued the show’s creators, 20th Century Fox, claiming they’d undersold the show’s rights and therefore cost the star millions in residuals. He was awarded $20m but his relationship with X-Files bosses was in tatters and he quit – Mulder was abducted by aliens.
The show carried on for two more seasons without David but he returned for the two spin-off films and he’s currently filming a reboot with Gillian Anderson.
