good advice. Should be in the contract - clarify with the agent. Hope it goes your way !

One of the characters that my DC has played in the past is featured on a computer game. The contract stated that the production company had the right to use his character image in any way they choose so he didnt expect to be paid extra. It would have been great if he had!!

That's excellent, so glad they gave you them. When my dd did a trailer for a book she was sent a copy of the book, signed by the author and the director. DD was so pleased she doesn't want to read it, in case it gets spoilt! :lol:
