Do stars of original series get royalties for reboots or remakes?

Question

While this may be a bit subjective, the recent remake of ***Roots***, produced by the original star, Levar Burton, got me to think.Is it common, or even heard of, for an actor or star to get royalties for their character once it has been rebooted? Does an actor get some sort of claim on a role past their original performance? If so, what's the first instance of this?

Answer 1

Do stars of original series get royalties for reboots or remakes? No, actors do not get royalties from reboots. The characters are the property of the writer(s), and only they are capable of getting royalties from reboots.
