Why do lead actors become Executive Producers on TV programs?

Asked by gmander (1141points) April 13th, 2011

It can’t just be for more money, they could just negotiate more cash for their acting. What’s the reason that they also get a credit as an ‘Executive Producer’? Does it mean they still collect cash even when they stop acting on the program? Or, is it an ego thing?
