Actors, writers, and directors often face creative changes completely out of their control – think of all the storylines actors flat-out refused to film, or that one time a powerful play about the Cuban revolution turned into Dirty Dancing 2.
Often, that means cast and crew are left with their names attached to a project they might not have felt in full control over.
For instance, Peter Sagal, the Cuban revolution playwright, is credited as a writer on the Dirty Dancing sequel, despite saying there’s “not a single line of dialogue in that movie” that he wrote.
In this case, he seems OK with the credit....
