How to make the world a better place? This question was asked by the teacher to seventh graders in order to at least something to occupy them for the upcoming school year. Only he did not know that this topic would go far beyond the classroom or even school, and someone would eventually have to pay a very high price for this. This story is told by the film “Pay to Another,” the actors and roles of which will be discussed below.
"Do the impossible"
Night. Police patrol the streets of the city. Suddenly a walkie-talkie receives a signal about the fact of a crime at one of the addresses. Together with the servants of the law, journalist Chris Chandler is at the scene. The criminal, trying to hide, in the trash crashes Chris's car. True, he did not have to grieve for a long time, because a man who appeared with a huge dog on a leash gives him his expensive and shiny car. That's just asking for nothing in return.
A professional flair tells Chandler that this can make great material. Therefore, he finds a generous person and asks to tell what is the meaning of his action. It turns out that once he was also helped when he really needed it. Instead of gratitude, that person asked to do good to any three people.
Three years ago ... In the lesson, the teacher, Eugene Simonet, writes the seventh-graders on the blackboard a task for the year in which he first suggests how to make the world a better place, and then bring his idea to life. The task interested the boy Trevor, and he figured out how to complete it.
So, now the essence of the film “Pay to another” is clear. Actors and roles will be discussed in more detail.
Kevin Spacey
Eugene Simonet is the same school teacher. Its main feature is punctuality. And all would be well, but he also demands it from others. Eugene’s half face is covered with burns, and many would like to know the cause of their occurrence, but this is a secret that he is in no hurry to reveal. Honestly, he gave the task in order to at least a little annoy the seventh graders, and certainly did not expect that he would soon become part of one big scheme.
Despite the fact that some actors who starred in the film “Pay to Another” do not need to be introduced at all, it's still worth refreshing the memory. Kevin Spacey is an American actor who began his career with a theater scene. And he gained popularity in the movie thanks to his role in the detective thriller "Seven".

Haley Joel Osment
Trevor McKinney is a promising student of Mr. Simonet. He lives with his mother, his father has left the family for several years. But the guy is not worried about this. Trevor was more interested in the task that he and his classmates received at school. True, the boy chose a strange method of execution, which became obvious when he brought a tramp into the house.
Not everyone who starred in the film “Pay Another” actors can boast of starting a career at the age of five. And Haley Joel Osment can. Even then, he happened to become the face of a pizzeria, and soon after the commercial, he was taken to the film "Forest Gump" by Robert Zemeckis. After that, he starred in many films: The Sixth Sense, Artificial Intelligence, Sex Education, etc. His voice even got into the series of computer games Kingdom Hearts. By the way, in his family there are two more people associated with the film industry - father and sister.
Helen Hunt
Arlene McKinney is Trevor's mother. The relationship between them is getting worse every day. She pays little attention to her son, because she is forced to disappear for days at work. But they have problems not only because of this. Recently, a woman has been tormented by an addiction with which she constantly fights. The son is the only person because of whom she has not yet broken. And she will have to listen to him if she does not want to lose Trevor.

Jay mor
Chris Chandler is a journalist who directly became part of Trevor McKinney’s complex scheme. To collect the necessary material, he is ready to make every effort. Moreover, he does not even bother that the journalistic investigation will cost him much more than the fee that he will receive for the article. Although at the very beginning of history, he already received an almost brand new Jaguar.
It is interesting that almost all the actors who starred in the film “Pay to Another” tried themselves in other roles. For example, Jay Mor is also a parody artist.
