But it clearly worked out for him, I mean we see him on new media all the time! What, you can't think of anything? Just Google his name!
I literally thought that was Steve from Gamers Nexus.
I mean he was part of the main cast on Hawai Five-0 for like 6 seasons too. Credited with 130 episodes on IMDb. Dude's probably loaded and only takes occasional roles for fun nowadays.
If he was smart about investing it, he probably earned enough to retire and live at a middle-class level for the rest of his life. But, he's probably not loaded. He wasn't ever one of the main stars of a show, he was always a side character. Plus, lifestyle inflation is a big problem for actors. Say he was making $400k per year on Hawaii Five-O, he probably wasn't living a modest $80k/year lifestyle and putting away 80% of his earnings.
I would bet he's still out looking for work so he can live in a house in LA with a pool up in the hills, not in a 1 bedroom apartment in the city.
He started off at 20-40k per episode and was doing 80k per episode in season 3 of Lost, possibly more in the later seasons. More than a million a year easily at that point. He was pretty important for a supporting cast member and they all made decent money.
Supposedly he also doesn't like living a flashy life with fancy stuff, his treat to himself for landing the Hawaii Five-0 gig was a custom jumpsuit, not a car or watch or house.
So that got me curious and I went and checked his insta. Not a single instance of him flexing wealth or trying to be an influencer or whatever. Seems like he wanted to be the opposite of Hurley with his money.
Now if he was a big spender, it'd be pretty easy to burn through all his money, but it looks like he's more careful than that.
That's great. I hope he's basically able to pick and choose his roles these days, and not work if there's nothing he's interested in.
Looks like it. He says he's passed on TV shows that he found uninteresting.
I think you need to do a certain amount of roles per year or whatever to stay in the actors guild.
I actually really like Bookie.
His image is immortalized in rock history
Is...is it Wolfgang Van Halen?
His name is 412 KB JPG. It's literally right there
What a soothing name, I'll name my first born in his honor
