Tank (acted by Marcus Chong), one of the characters from the original Matrix movie, is not in the sequel. When watching the movie, at first I was confused with who this dude “Link” is and what happened to the original operator for Morpheus’s ship, the Nebuchadnezzar. I don’t quite remember how they wrote him out of the movie, but he’s not there. It turns out it has a simple explanation: Chong got greedy.

Film industry sources say the actor made repeated phone calls of a harassing nature to the filmmakers after his salary demands were not met. Tank was subsequently written out of the sequels and replaced with a character named Link.

I guess the red pill isn’t the only way out.
