His been in the industry long enough to have set something up surely? Google says he was worth 35 million in 2024.

It's why a lot of actors get into producing or exec producing their own stuff. You try and get films and shows you want produced. You can't act forever and you want to have a say in your career.

You also can't wait for these studios to come to you unless you scorching hot. Damn shame tbh.
His also 60yrs old. He won't be getting the roles he used to.

That means he won't be getting the pay he used to get either.
right. they won't take the chance on you so take your own chances

prolly too late now

Corey Holcomb said a long time ago that a lot of actors are broke. He said it was shocking to him when he first moved to LA. Hollywood is smoke and mirrors.

These artists will get a big project and think it’s on forever after that and instead of taking their money and flipping it, they start spending like they’ll never go broke. People used to laugh at Samuel L Jackson for being in so many movies, but I bet they understand now why he wasn’t turning anything down.

Breh is study getting roles/work. The access is there with being able to do what he loves. His gripe is being underpaid.
Still doesn’t change what I said though. If doing what you love doesn’t help you pay the bills, then maybe you should pivot to something different.

We tell people that not in a Hollywood all the time.

Obviously, he was spending like he was going to get it a never string of roles, that’s not how the business works :francis:
