In entertainment, many actors face financial challenges unless they land long-term gigs. Some lucky ones get royalties when their work reruns on TV or is sold to streaming platforms. These royalties provide a steady income, allowing them to relax and pursue acting for the love of it. However, not all actors receive substantial residuals. Some barely get any, even as their performances keep airing. We’re delving into how much 30 actors earn from reruns—some are pleasantly surprising, while others, not so much. It’s a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry’s financial landscape.
#1: The Brady Bunch Cast
Amount: $0
Can you believe The Brady Bunch lasted only five seasons? That’s wild! But even though it’s been ages, the show’s still a big deal in pop culture. You’d think the stars would be swimming in cash, right? Well, think again…
Folks like Maureen McCormick and the rest of the gang don’t make any money from royalties! Yup, zero. They only get paid if someone uses clips from the show in other stuff. It’s a bummer deal, for sure! So, despite its enduring popularity, the stars aren’t exactly cashing in on reruns like you might think.
