Actor RICHARD DREYFUSS only starred in new movie POSEIDON because he was offered a pile of money. The 59-year-old actor announced his retirement from Hollywood two years ago (04), because he wanted to concentrate on theatre. But he was lured back by the Poseidon paycheque. Dreyfuss explains, "It was because they offered me enough money to do the things I want to do now. "Like teaching, lecturing and reading about history. "I need the money because when I was earning well, I was not handling it as wisely as I should have done."
