Michael Hollick is the voice of the immigrant star – Niko Bellic – in Rockstar’s newest game Grand Theft Auto IV. In an interview with the Times Hollick stated that he made $100,000 for the 15 months that he worked on the game recording his role. The game itself has made over $600 million in only two weeks – but Hollick won’t see any of that money.

“It’s tough, when you see Grand Theft Auto IV out there as the biggest thing going right now, when they’re making hundreds of millions of dollars, and we don’t see any of it,” Hollick told the Times. “I don’t blame Rockstar. I blame our union for not having the agreements in place to protect the creative people who drive the sales of these games.”
