Although the premiere of the film about the sunken ship “Titanic” it was as far back as 1997, actors who acted in some scenes as children still receive royalties, NOVA reported.
Reece Thompson, now 30, remembers little of his role. In the tape, he dies, along with his mother and sister.
Today, he says that the agent offered his real mother two options - either to participate in a gas station commercial or to have a small role in a “big movie”.
Every year he gets an extra $100, and on a few occasions he gets as much as $250.
