Should deniro have played max cherry?

I’m not sure whether the dispute was about the role or about the salary that comes with the role. who knows what went on behind the scenes though… I guess it’s never easy for a relatively young/hip/new director to direct someone as a-list and celeb as deNiro, especially if you’re casting such as star in a “minor” role for low pay… I dunno… I think Jackie Brown was cast fine. even though I hated Jackson’s fashion style he was sporting and I don’t get why Jackie and Max didn’t really hook up. Jeez, both are way too old to be single. and they had money… weirdos…
