Odom's role in the popular musical"Hamilton" won him a Tony award. However, when it came to"Hamilton Live" for Disney+ audiences, the award-winning actor was still negotiating his salary up until the day before filming began, in order to ensure he was receiving equal pay in comparison to his white counterparts.The 39-year-old actor candidly opened up about his experience in a recent podcast interview with Dax Shepard.
I didn't ask for a penny more. I didn't ask for one penny more, but I said, 'You must pay me exactly what that white boy got to do 'Grease Live!' That's the bottom line." Read MoreThe day before the movie was shot, things got down to the wire.Odom said,"I called out. I was not kidding. I was not coming to work the next day to do the movie. You know, I was not kidding. It was a principle for me and sometimes it doesn't work out.
This is a great race baiting piece. Nicely written to agitate but uplift at the same time. Well done. You should cover ethos story...
I decided I'd never see that play when I saw the cast taking a pause to harass the V-P. CNN endorsing that play tells me I was right in the first place!
Maybe his agent isnt so good.

Oh please
Hey guys wondering when your going to mention the Cannon Hinnant story? 5 year old white kid shot in the head by a black guy. We’re waiting. Doesn’t fit the narrative tho eh?
This is sad. However, I bet there will still be people who miss the point. I am beginning to think that Twitter is pointless. The stupidity in the comment section is beyond frightening

Who is white?
What white counterparts? There’s just the king and the wife.
News for a change, please.
Be carefull with the people who take advantage of others people's feelings and misfortunes, to manipulate them, and make their personal profits, regardless of the people or the country!!’!
His white counterparts? LOL Ok this is now beyond ridiculous! CNN take your race meme BS narratives and shove them!
Isn’t it cultural appropriation for a African American to be playing a white guy? I mean I am old enough to remember all the white actors apologizing and quit acting jobs for this. Some were playing cartoons.
This is confusing AF as there were no white people on HamiltonMusical with a few small part exceptions. What does getting more money than a white counter part accomplish exactly? Perhaps all members of the cast should be paid the same amount of money regardless of skin color?
Didn't know there were any white actors in HamiltonMusical Most of the ones I've seen aren't.
Racists are always obsessed with race.
Say his name CNN 'Cannon Hinnant'!
