Antonio Tarver who is suing the film makers of Stallone’s final Rocky movie, “Rocky Balboa”, is claiming that he wasn’t payed for playing the role of Mason “The Line” Dixon. Sylvester Stallone wrote the script and directed the film, but TMZ didn’t really clarify who Tarver is suing. The film makers or Stallone himself? I’m sure it isn’t Stallone being sued since TMZ didn’t bring up his name, so it must be the film makers aka the studio. Stallone is not responsible for paying the actors since he is just a writer, director. It’s the studios responsibility for payments.
