Has anyone noticed a trend of actors (especially A-listers) becoming producers on projects they're not otherwise involved in (no cameo or directing credits)? It just seemed that not too long ago, an actor would only produce a project he or she was starring in; or for TV shows, would later on become a producer. And I understand it can be a way to make money or is something they're passionate about, so why weren't they doing it before as much? Or am I just reading into too small a sample size?

Honey I Blew Up the Kid (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Wayne is in the back of the van with his machine when the motorcycle cops are following him, the switches on the machine change position depending on the shot. At first, you see #2 and 5 in the up position, but then only #4 is. He flips them all up and the lights come on, but in the next shot, the lights are off and not all the switches are up. A similar thing happens when he unshrinks the cops.
