For every actor, one of their greatest achievements is landing roles in major hit movies. For sure, the cash rewards for a movie role come in handy, but when you do a series, you can rest assured of a somewhat passive income even after the show has ended.

Whether it is the cast on the series, Friends, or even some of the Emmy Awards’ richest actors, they will tell you a lot of the small films do earn a lot of money as the major films do.

How Actors Are Living Through Their Movie Reruns
Ted Danson
Show & Seasons: Cheers – 11
Last Episode Airdate: May 20, 1993
Passive Earning: Average of $5 million per year
Ted Danson has had a very successful career, but we have to agree that his most popular was his role on NBC’s Cheers, where he played Sam Malone, one of the leading characters. We have to agree that Cheers has been one of the most popular TV shows ever and continues to be even to this day.
Danson has appeared in many other films and has topped up his financial status. Some of those films include Bored to Death, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Good Place. Should Danson decide to retire now, he still has a steady income of around $5 million yearly, a cool pension a lot of us can only dream of getting.
