realizing from the notes that a lot of people werent aware of the the little stunt hulu/disney pulled!! yeah they offered him a lowball amount and wont pay him competitive pricing. then they announced the revival without finalizing his contract, probably to push him towards signing on at low pay to avoid being recast. apparently theyre still in talks so dimaggio could still get on the show, but he is standing his ground (as he should) and added that he wants better pay for his cast members as well so i fear its unlikely. 

its really good to see all the fans and friends in the industry sticking up for him, hopefully if we cause enough of an uproar theyll realize how integral dimaggio is to the futurama legacy. his role as bender is iconic alone but he played many roles throughout the show and it just wouldnt be the same without him. 

spread the word!! we got #bendergate to trend on twitter recently so that is a helpful tag to use when discussing this! dimaggio is also aware of this tag and seems to be keeping up with it somewhat.

Keep in mind that DiMaggio didn’t only play Bender. Check out his IMDB credits

He was such a huge talent on the show, the amount that he brought to it can NOT be understated
