Offer to forgo your 'net' profits for an executive producer credit. You won't get any more money, but it looks better on the resume.

I think most of the sweet deals that actors great come from the movie's gross profits. Keanu Reeves made this ridiculous sum for the matrix.
The Matrix Revolutions (2003)$15,000,000 + 15% of the gross
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)$15,000,000 + 15% of the gross
The Matrix (1999)$10,000,000 + 10% of the gross
