Turning it around a bit...
I think my opinion of the actor is heavily colored by the scripts/films they elect to do.
Sure, there are times someone has to take a role just for the $,
but over a career it is their own personal choices they make.

My example is Dan Aykroyd and Steve Martin.
They were both comics and enjoyable in their youth,
but to me Aykroyd is still making the same films over and over, while Martin has "matured"
in many ways and has no longer the same public personality.
So now, I'll pass on an Aykroyd, but expect to enjoy anythingdone by Martin.

Maybe not the same idea as in the OP,
but I think such decisions play a part in how I spend my $
