In 1990, Ted Danson starred in a movie he “probably wouldn’t choose to do”, but the money was too good to turn down

Ted Danson returned as Jack Holden in *Three Men and a Little Lady* in 1990, despite being wary of sequels. The article says the lucrative offer helped persuade him, at a time when he still hoped to build a film career after the success of *Cheers* and *Three Men and a Baby*.

The sequel reunited Danson with Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg, but earned more than 70% less than its predecessor. Danson said he probably would not choose to make a sequel, though he enjoyed the experience; the article suggests that his substantial earnings from *Cheers* and the potential multi-million-dollar film fee made returning worthwhile.
