I don't count ppl pockets, because I don't like folks counting mines, but if dude was getting 5k a show, how long does one think that will last a man with a family??
Bills come every month, mortgage, groceries, car notes, school activities, dental insurance etc, for the man's kids, that lil 5k a show not gonna be enough for one to take care of a family, let alone himself.
In a given Season, (a calendar year) if he appeared in 4 Eps outta 10 EPs in a Season, that's only 20k a year (before taxes)?? A man with a family is expected to live off that and be str8 in his late 40s and 50s?? IMO I don't think so Lol
That's why I don't pocket watch, I know how reality works and 5k a show in the 80s, early 90s was a good amount of money.
