Set them up as in being rich no matter what they do, or set them up as being instantly recognisable by everyone and therefore being able to get work no matter what and get pussy anywhere? I find the latter more interesting.

Doogie Howser and whatever Michael J. Fox's character was called in that sitcom he starred in as a kid.

Elijah Wood was in well on his way to being a star before Lord of the Rings. LotR probably hampered his career in the long run, since he just became "that Hobbit" after the movies.

The latter, they might be doing shit work but they will always be recognized. Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe will always be Frodo and Harry Potter and will always get some work because of that alone no matter what

How did you not open with Daisy Ridley?

(Provided her agent isn't a nincompoop) That girl is financially set for life. She could do just episodes 8 and 9 and nothing else ever, and she could spend the rest of her life loafing around.
