So I recently watched an interview were Doug Benson says he still gets something like a $20 check every month from his minute long cameo on Friends.
Just how much do the stars of long running, popular syndicated TV shows actually make? It seems like anyone in that situation could easily just retire and be set for life; I know I'd just live off my TRftS money if I was JGL.
Also, aside from pic related and Drew Barrymore, which successful child actors actually seem well adjusted and are still working in the industry, even though they obviously don't need to?

The guy from Get Smart made a shitload of money from Get Smart by taking most of his pay in syndication royalties or some shit. Look it up.

>$35 million
I'm fucking poor kek
>>62688590
Yeah, even without worrying about investing I'm sure I'd be completely fine living the rest of my life on $35 million.
Look at someone like Jerry Seinfeld. He hasn't done fuck all in 15 years but is worth hundreds of millions because Seinfeld airs multiple times every day all over the world.

>julia louis-dreyfus already had billions in family money but became the favorite child by making her fortune on her own
>>62688812
I think the other 3 barely get anything in comparison, it's all Jerry and Larry
Really makes you wonder how some actors get their shit fucked up and they lose all their money when even c list TV actors make more money than like, 90 percent of the population does in their entire life
>>62688905
I don't see what the problem is, Jerry and Larry also ran and wrote the show.
>>62688812
>He hasn't done fuck all in 15 years
He's been doing stand up
He has a web show
>>62688995
>literally just being rich and fucking around
>>62688995
Point is he could do those, running at a loss and it wouldn't put a dent in his capital. In the eyes of many he will be a one-hit wonder too.
Didn't John Milius and Steven Spielberg get like 1% of the Star Wars gross each, because they traded Lucas a 1% share of grosses in their own films (I think for Stevie, George got a 1% cut of CE3K)
Despite still looking like he's 10, old blue eyes seems to be doing pretty good for himself.
>>62689259
Anyone else find it weird that for a period of time in the 90's every kid in films or advertising had to be played by him or have that same Anglo-Germanic innocuous look with the protruding lips and lame bowl cut?
Like how the hell did that consensus get reached? What was the zeitgeist that people decided that this was the archetypal male child?
>>62689370
rememeber hearing how the guy who played Gunther on friends makes 250k a year
>>62689448
Frodo Baggins?
>>62689448
>>62689509
He was around 15 there, and actually looks like a proportionately sized adult.

>pretend to be a barista for a decade
>occasionally have a one liner
>make a doctor's salary for the rest of your life
>>62688453
DROPPED
>>62689636
He's actually a barista IRL and kept working as one for the majority of the shows run.
He got the job because he was the onlyerson who could make coffee and a friend called him and asked him to be in the show because they needed a barista.
>>62688453
> It seems like anyone in that situation could easily just retire and be set for life
Yeah but you already have a foot in the door of the easist fucking job in the world, why quit and retire?
Plus once you move out and learn basic fiances you'll realize only losing money every month and not making any is really really bad.
>>62689732
So he's the lazy man's Harrison Ford.
He's probably thinking:
>nobody cared about me before
>nobody cares about me now
>the checks just keep coming and i have a full time barista doing my laundry when he's not busy
Meanwhile Harrison Ford is helping to ruin established franchises.
Well... it depends on their contract for that show or movie.
That depends on which studio and which producers and what their agent negotiated for residuals.
Famously, David Prowse never got paid residuals for Return Of The Jedi because Fox and Lucasfilm said those films never turned a profit. He foolishly signed to get money from the back end net profit of the films.
Also. Let me repeat that.
The studios say that Return Of The Jedi never turned a profit.
>>62688812
It's fucking disgusting the amount of money he receives from syndication alone.
>>62689681
until about five years ago i always thought he was half-japanese

Unless you get accustomed to throwing parties for other millionaires every week you can live like a millionaire just on the interest of $35 million for the rest of your life.
These people keep doing what they do to stay busy, and write, direct, produce the things they want because they can.

Oh well. We're fucking talented, so who gives a shit. I guarantee there's no conspiracy (I have family in the industry and their parents talk shit about them).

Unless you have anything more than that to say don't even bother. It's obviously going to be shit.

This.
Let's say you drop maybe $5M on a house, and invest the remaining $30M. If you just beat inflation by one percent, you could still expect to easily spend $250K a year and break-even by the end of it.

yeah I used to make a lot more but they became bigger jews about IP infringement
>>62691083
The most depressing thing about the show is that it's about depression and existential shit, but when you no longer have to even work it makes that seem stupid.
